Re: New here

I just would like to pass onto you a piece of advice that was passed on to me just before I started my externship. That is "this will be the longest job interview you will ever be on".
Keep that in mind when you are on your externship. I did and I was hired two weeks after I finished.
I'm excited for you and all the best of luck.

Russ, I have to say who ever gave you those words of wisdom KNEW what they were talking about. What I like about this is that it truly hits the nail. Thank you for sharing this excellent advice here with us.

Re: New here

Hi, Im new here too, and thought I would ask a question. I currently in school and won't be doing my externship until next semester, but I'm starting to prepare for it. I was wondering what is one of the best things to do in an externship? Aside from paying attention, of course.
