Follow directions when applying for opportunities… We recently learned from an employer who was advertising an opportunity on the BRIDGE that only 1 of 7 Bucknell students who applied for his organizations job opportunity followed the 3 steps required for the position, which were outlined on the BRIDGE job description.
