Early Interview Week 2013 – Participating Employers NOW Viewable
Participating employers are now viewable under the OCI tab in Symplicity, under the "2013 Early Interview Week" session. Student bidding will begin on June 17 and end on July 17. Now is a great time to start researching firms before the bidding period officially begins. Please read through the EIW Student Manual for a check list of tasks to complete, resume upload and bidding instructions, policies, open sign-up info and other helpful tips.
You may also begin scheduling EIW counseling appointments; counselors are available for both in-person and phone appointments. Please DO NOT wait until the last minute to make an appointment. Due to heavy demand, counselor schedules will fill up quickly and there is no guarantee that an appointment will be available if you wait until closer to the bidding deadline. Call OCS at (202)662-9300 or go online to schedule an appointment. For more information, refer to the EIW Student Manual and visit the EIW website.

"3 Easy Ways to Strengthen Your LinkedIn Network"
Lindsey Pollak, May 22, 2013
"Constantly meeting new people and growing your professional network is crucial to uncovering job leads and building a successful and lasting career. But today we’re going to talk about another important piece of networking that is often neglected: maintaining your connections once you have them. As the old song says, “Make new friends, but keep the old….”
