<p>“even in a really tough market, a Smith degree can get you places. But you can’t be lackadaisacal about it”</p>
<p>One of D’s classmates reported that, last year, an alum chided her (the classmate) for not having been more assertive in and commited to her search for an internships. The classmate took the alum’s words to heart, re-wrote her resume/comer letter, reviewed both w/ CDO, took advantage of a number of CDO services, applied to jobs in Boston, found an apt in Boston (via craigslist) - - and had rec’d a job offer just before graduation! The classmate - - ever gracious - - credited the alum with kick-starting (jumpstarting?) the entire process.</p>
