>> A good way to prepare is to get an internship whether it's with a law office,
local police department, a federal agency.
You should get an internship because that'll get your foot in the door and it'll give you a sense
of what a few of the law enforcement and criminal justice is all about.
And like I said, networking is really important.
If you know somebody who is in the position that you want to be, just reach out to them.
Shoot them an e-mail.
Be like hey, I'm interested in a position of -- in your position.
Like, do you have any advice on what I could do to make myself look like a better candidate
or what I can do to make myself that much -- that would prepare me to be in this field?
And that would be the number 1 advice is to get involved
in any clubs that offer help for your major.
And to just get an internship or reach out to somebody who you know that may want to help you.
There's just so many activities and clubs available at Rutgers.
And it's -- and if you are really passionate about something,
it's easy for you to actually have a club yourself.
That I feel just how Rutgers will work with the students is something that I see
as of right now, just even in our policies and what we do, it's all about trying to give back
to the community and the students.
And just being a student at Rutgers and actually getting firsthand, like,
oh Rutgers really wants to help me.
I can -- when I'm working I can -- I try and give that back to the person that I'm talking to
and show them that I'm here to help them
and that the community at large is here to help them.
