Recommendations
- Study Abroad ! College is the only time you can do it for so long and so cheap .
- Go to career fairs and work hard to land yourself an internship , the first one is the hardest to get . - Explore all options but don ’ t compromise what you have in doing so . - Be the best at whatever you do , and always surround yourself with people who are better .
- Remember all of your schooling ! Even though 80 % of careers might not need you to remember much , you never know when you ’ ll find yourself in the 20 % that need it all .
( I never thought I ’ d end up on a team at Intel practicing exactly what I learned in college )
- Don ’ t wait until the end of the semester to find an internship or job , and don ’ t expect anything until you ’ ve signed on the dotted line .
( I say this from experience after struggling to get my full time position and having a letter of intent retracted .)
