Thank you, Gracias, Xie Xie
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! In the regular world only one thing means the same thing in every language and that’s a smile. In the business world one thing that means the same thing is a thank you letter.

Don’t Go Online Yet! Go To Information Sessions.
Most students in the week after the Career Fair are in the position where you’re being told, “go online to our Careers page and apply for jobs there.” And most students hate this answer!

Okay, so you went to Career Fair and talked to employers and companies. AWESOME! Now you’re sitting there wondering: “What do I do now?” “How long until they get back to me?” “What if they don’t?”…. It’s key that you send a thank you note to each company/representative that took the time to talk to you. […]
Your Presentation: Simplify It.
“I just don’t know what to say to the employers!” “I get nervous. I stumble.” “Do you think that this margin on my resume should be smaller so I can fit that leadership position from a year ago?” The number of times that I’ve consoled people over these worries means that students aren’t comfortable presenting […]
