    When looking for a new or first time job, money isn't everything. The right corporate culture, managing style, home-work balance, etc., can often times provide more satisfaction than a fat paycheck. Being miserable every day is not worth a company essentially “buying out” your life.

    Career tip – Internships

    Be polite to everyone, always have a pen and a notebook with you when someone gives you an assignment, ask questions if you do not understand. You are allowed to ask questions as an intern. Also plan accordingly, if your internship is only 10-12 weeks long, do not ask for a two-week vacation.

    General lessons that I've learned during my first 5 years of my career:

    1) The early bird gets the worm. Show up early for work. I feel it sets the tone for yourself and the entire office. Plus, it gives you some valuable time to yourself without interruptions from other staff members to get some work cranked out.

    2) Busy season sucks. However, that does not allow you to be the individual that whines and complains all of the time. Believe me, nobody wants to work with an individual like that. Instead, focus on being a big team player, help out others and crank out quality work. It has been my experience that my efforts have been rewarded and I've developed strong rapport with other co-workers for my attitude and effort during busy season.

    3) Make your work your own. It has your name on it. Make sure it's right and well supported.

    4) Learn from your mistakes. Take the time to make notes to ensure you understand why you made the mistake so that you don't make it again. It is incredibly annoying working with people that make the same mistakes over and over and over again.

    5) Above all else, maintain your integrity and character. Do things the right way and don't cut corners when you're tempted to do so.

    1.Believe and have confidence in yourself going into an interview.

    2.Employers are looking at technical skills & if you would fit into their culture.

    3. Ask lots of questions – meaningful questions not so many ” did you see that touchdown pass by Romo”

    4. While interviewing, make sure to gauge and adjust accordingly to the situation.

    5. Finally take it personal – if you don't get hired – stay positive and attack in future interviews.
