Interview clothes
We remind you to have your interview clothes always available in Waterford so that you are available for interview at short notice.  We try to give as much notice as possible but sometimes this is not possible.
 
CVs and Response Forms
We still do not have all your CVs - we cannot send you CVs to prospective employers without having your CV and your Response Form.  We have put the names of these students on a list on the door of the Office at D18. Get them in to us at bbsplacement@wit.ie

Check e-mails, website and mobile phones
Again we remind you to check your e-mail at least twice daily and check the website regularly in case e-mails are not getting through to you.  We are sending e-mails to your WIT e-mail address only.   Check your text messages regularly and respond immediately.   You may miss out on a possible interview should you fail to do so.
