>> Go out and try to network with people who are already in the field ahead of time.
I never did that at all, but I got my interview at Baker
because of a connection and those always really help.
If you have any connections, use your connections.
So, if you could go to organization, like, meetings.
I belong to ASHE, which is American Society of Highway Engineers,
and there were some PIT students there the last time and they were all talking
to PennDOT employees and Baker employees and other civil engineering firms so they could,
you know, get to know some people.
Get their name out there.
I would definitely recommend doing things like that
and I would also definitely recommend interning in the summers before you graduate.
That's definitely a way to see what you're going to be doing in the real world,
because college is totally different and doesn't really tell you--
it doesn't really show you what you would be doing at a job and so interning
or co-oping is a definite must I think.
