What do you need to do now... if you haven't already

• Identify your "deal breakers"
• Make a list of other important items for you
• Spend time reflecting on your TPE experience
• Send Thank You E-Mails or Cards

The On Campus Interview

• Know the institution's financial policy on travel expenses
• Consider your current employers needs and expectations
• Do your homework...literally and figuratively
• Travel day - Wear business casual when you arrive to campus. Make a good first impression!
• Once you are on campus, you have been as qualified, now it's a matter of "fit". Be yourself!
• If you have 2 or more on-campus interviews, ask your employer if you can take more time to make a decision

The Offer!

• Know what you want (salary, professional development, meals, tuition, etc.)
• Take time to make your decision - most give 2-3 days
• Negotiations - If you negotiate, do NOT reject the position if they follow through with what you want
• Once you accept a position write all other potential employers
