One more thing...and this is to graduating seniors..

It is MUCH easier to get a good, career potential job, when you are in college, versus after college. The people in your career planning and placement office should be your best friends right about now. Get to know them, go to the receptions, go to the informationals for the horrible companies that no one else wants to go to (they will be glad to see you. It makes them look good when their is a crowd at those things), sign up for interviews, even if it is just for the practice.

When I graduated sldkfj (muffled sound) years ago I did not have the best GPA in the world and had not had any internships. I was determined that I would have a job by graduation. I was always one of the first ones to sign up for interviews in our CPP office. I kept a blue suit in my car (I lived off campus) just in case there was a cancellation and I could fill a slot. Before graduation I had 3 job offers and so was able to choose the one that best suited me. I had a good starting salary, a signing bonus and they paid my moving expenses (from GA to MN). Now, I ended up hating Minnesota, but that's another story!
