Um…Like…You Should Seriously Hire Me…Ya Know What I’m Sayin’?

As horrifying as this sounds, it was every bit, but it was also amazingly helpful. I think I owe all the jobs I’ve gotten due to that class. While I was doing some research on Mock Interview tips I came across this great post on SUNY Cortland’s Career Services blog and had to share it. On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) starts February 1st, get […]
