If you had a campus job or internship, how did they impact your career development?
Having an internship and performing well and proving yourself in the internship is of utmost importance. I cannot stress more on that point. It helps you land a job immediately once you graduate and as an international Â鶹´«Ã½ that is very important. You need to make right contacts during your internship. These help you secure your future and do the job you have always wanted to do.

Industrial exposure is a must. Try planning for your internship a semester before you graduate. Perform well in it and you would have no troubles in securing a job.
