IF YOU ARENT SELECTED1) Dont be discouraged.Keep trying almost any senior student will tell you that they didnt always get the rst posi on they applied for! If you dont ndsomething in the Fall, there are more involvement opportuni es that come up throughout the year. Stay tuned for January to April,which is the most intense recrui ng me for the CSS.2) Get feedback.If you are running in an elec on, ask those around you for feedback as to how you can improve. If you are interviewed, email theinterviewer a er as to why you werent selected and what you could do differently.3) Take advantage of what the CSS has to offer.

Just because you dont get a posi on doesnt mean you cant becoming engaged in the Gustavson community. There is so much to do a]end a conference, to go a social event, and par cipate in a CSS service.
