<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Sometimes
making a decision and committing to an internship or job
opportunity is hard. How can you be sure the offer is the best
one for you? How can you convey an interest in the position
and ask for more time? How do you balance multiple interview
processes and offer deadlines that do no align? In this
session we will cover:<br>
- Recruiting expectations for students and employers.<br>
- How to effectively communicate with employers if
you have questions or need more time to make a decision.<br>
- Evaluating offers and the decision making process.<br>
- Making a commitment and what is expected. <br>
Participants are encouraged to send their specific questions
