TIPS from John Barretto

1. Be positive!
2. Be prepared! (research/hw/choose work to target specific firm)
3. Be yourself @ interviews.
4. Show the type of work you want to do. 
5. Use your personal network wisely.
6. Mind your social network.
7. Treat people with the same respect you want to be treated with.
8. Build an inventory of skills and use them to differentiate yourself.
9. Network! (w/o asking for a job)
10. Dress appropriately and act professionally.
11. Ask questions! (the interview goes both ways)
12. Stay connected! (be a part of the CP Alumni Association)
13. SEND THANK YOU LETTERS!
