Welcome to Strategic Student Tips

Hello Buckeyes and former Buckeyes. Over my eight years at Ohio State I've been asked countless times for help with internships and jobs. I'm glad to help. So I've created this blog because the earlier students begin to know the do's and dont's of obtaining such internships and jobs, the more successful they will be. I'm going to send this to former students who can give their feedback and advice to current students as well as to current students who can learn and provide their experiences in applying these tips. I hope it will be fun to see some comments from you all.

It's my belief that strategic preparation is critical to earning what you want. You know that teamwork involves practice, and learning a language involves practice, so it stands to reason that getting an internship involves practice and preparation in writing, researching and interviewing.

Over the next six months I'll sporadically send you my thoughts (mostly random; however they will be STRATEGICALLY random) and you can add to them, learn by them, or simply delete them. Your feedback is always welcome. Good luck and thanks, Dan
