For Students & Alumni

Think you’ve got what it takes to wow a recruiter or dazzle ‘em on the job? Think again.

According to a survey by Monster.com, nearly 30% of employers are ‘fed up’ with how their new employees dress, communicate—even how they hold a fork during a business lunch. The result? Those of us with a clue get better gigs, plum assignments, and more opportunities.
