Search the web for practice interview questions “Character” questions What is a time when you’ve been in a dysfunctional group and what did you do? YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR THESE! Puzzle questions Buy this book: Programming Interviews Exposed http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0471383562

It is all about who you know! Use the Career Center! They have this thing where you can apply online to get interviews. Then the interviews are on campus. It is all about who you know! My second job I got through a friend Today I ran into an old classmate that might be able to fund my research

Make the most of the interview! Ask questions about the typical working day How many meetings? Worst aspect of the job? Do people have lunch together?

Having a Job

How you are evaluated… You are evaluated based upon meeting your time estimates!

Why working on teams is way better in industry then school! If your co-worker isn’t showing up – it isn’t your problem.

Getting In To Grad School

Getting into Grad School: It isn’t just grades! Do research with a professor at Berkeley Identify professors at Berkeley to write you a letter of recommendation Try to do research over the summer VISIT the school that you’re interested in Meet the professor(s) that you want to work with You need to know what you want to do! (it will change – but you need to pick SOMETHING!)
