Tips/Suggestions

• Try and get as many internships as you can,
  breaking into industry can be tough when you
  start out
• Most employers look at your resume for about
  10-20 seconds before deciding if you get a chance
  to interview
• When you do secure the interview, do research on
  the company before you interview. Have atleast
  3-5 questions you want to ask
• When asked behavioral questions, put your answers
  in the STAR format (Situation, Action and Result)
• Most importantly.Remember to bring more than 1
  copy of your resume with you!
