I love these stats though... Would make great presentation material on the importance of being active in a job search. Especially the part about what times to apply... if it's a rolling recruiting basis (which I'm assuming almost every company does), those would probably be advantageous times.
that's a ridiculous line of thinking.
emails are sent to department heads because outsiders typically deal with them often and don't have a relationship with the students. the emails are then passed along as a service to everybody.
what would a student with "drive" do differently to find an internship? walk door-to-door carrying 100lbs of stones in a backpack to submit applications?
