Use the Career Center!

• They have this thing where you can apply online
  to get interviews. Then the interviews are on
  campus.

It is all about who you know!

• Today I ran into an old classmate that might be
  able to fund my research

Make the most of the interview!

How you are evaluated

  your problem.
