Yay FSU in the spotlight! That's my school :)

I agree. Learming how to conduct information interviews is crucial. I've 
learned my lesson

Strongly encourage him to learn about and conduct information  
interviews!
Read more about information interviews:

Maybe we should create a network of WPO members that would offer to  
mentor new entrants to the field and do info. interviews etc.


I'd also suggest he check out the career services of his college  
because they are usually have great general career planning resources  
and advice. I teach at two universities and I'm always amazed at how  
many students don't take advantage of those resources. I still would  
want to get connected with people in the filed and wouldn't rely on  
the career services folks for specific info. on our field but that's  
why you do an info. interview.  The career offices can be great for  
career coaching, getting your resume in order, connecting you with  
alum in the field, teaching how to negotiate salary or benefits etc.  
and most offer services not only for recent grads but also alum of the  
school.
