![Picture](/uploads/4/0/4/7/4047021/9410733.png)
While successfully navigating the Orientation Program is important, nothing is more important than doing ample preparation before you step foot in New Orleans. This involves doing significant company and industry research, perfecting your resume walk, participating in mock interviews, etc. While the current Consortium class has set up various coaching and prep sessions for you, it's important to prep on your own as well.
