Do

  • Research the company before calling or e-mailing an Advisor and learn about the products and services the company provides.
  • Inform the Advisor you received their name from the UNC GAA.
  • Prepare questions to ask (how did you get into this field, what advice would you give someone with my experience, etc.).
  • Have a strong resume including information on what you have to offer (education, experience, skills). Need assistance?
  • Respect an Advisor's time.
  • Within 24 hours of meeting or speaking extensively with an alumni advisor, send a thank you note expressing your appreciation for their time and effort.

Don't

  • Ask for a job.
  • Rush to put together a resume so that you can send it off quickly; give it some serious thought.
  • Expect the Advisor to critique your resume.
