| Ah...the paperwork! Probably my least favorite part of the entire process, but also the easiest thus far. The application asks fairly typical quesions, no real curve balls. But since I'm an insane over-achiever I decided to make a cover letter and resume, which is something I'd never had to do before. I really recommend that people do this, I personally think it shows a little bit of professionalism and that you WANT to be there. My big advice is to have as many people as possible proof-read it for for you; spellcheckers don't always catch everything, and it's great to bounce ideas of the layout, wording, etc. off others. Now if you are REALLY smart you will bring a folder/binder/something to put your all your paperwork in. I didn't do this and it ended up raining at the school I had to travel to, needless to say my paperwork got a wee bit damp and didn't look quite as professioanl as I had hoped! For those of you that have never written a resume or cover letter before there are TONS of websites that offer tips, I used soyouwanna.com. It's actually a really fun site that gives tips on how to do pretty much anything, check it out - a great time waster! You should also decide what program you want to do and which positions you would prefer, they will ask you this at the interview and it helps to be prepared! Did I miss something? E-mail me! Go home! Just go home! |
