Tips For Student Success
Start early
- many places will have already done their summer hiring by the start of summer
Have a plan
- know your target, decide how many applications you are going to complete every week, keep records of where you have applied so you can follow up
Be persistent
- you may have to apply for quite a few positions before you find something
Be enthusiastic
- employers are looking for employees with energy and enthusiasm
Complete all of the application materials
- many students don't do this step and it can make an employer pass up looking at your application; send a cover letter and resume if this is requested!
Be professional
- make sure your contact information and voice mail message portray a professional image
Practice interviewing
- consider scheduling a mock interview at the University Career Center
Use your network
- ask friends, family, and fellow students for suggestions
