Whitney's Featured Tip
How to Stand Out In Your Job or Internship Search
2. Follow up! After applying, consider sending an application follow-up email. (See example on page 37 of our Career Guide)
3. Be more than a name on a resume! Consider using the UGA LinkedIn Alumni Tool to search the careers of over 170,000+ UGA alums and set up some informational interviews with them. (See pages 19 and 21 in our Career Guide to learn more about utilizing LinkedIn and Informational Interviews) Because how many times have you heard, "It's all about who you know?"
