UT houston spring 2010 hopefuls

[butterflykiss]

hi there, I'm a spring 2010 UT houston hopefull, I'm trying to see who else is embarking on this journey so we can support each other. I really enjoyed tracking the Fall 2009 class, and I hope we can do the same. I still have a few classes to take. I am currently taking chemistry. As of now my science GPA is 3.33, and overall gpa is 3.61. I am taking the net in May.

Can't wait to hear from others.

Good luck to those of you who are lucky enough to interview tomorrow.

Thanks for wishing us luck. I'm filled with gut-wrenching anxiety at this point, and my family is suffering the consequences haha!

Is anyone else having trouble with the one-page limit on the resume? How big of a deal do you think it would be if it were longer?

i was having problems with that so i went to the career center on campus and had an advisor help me with it. i know many people don't have access to something like that but i tried my hardest to make it one page just because they said so. on a side note...would it be inappropriate to wear a sleeveless blouse? it's not a tank top or low cut or anything, just no sleeves. i wish they would have specified what the dress code is in the letter...i've been thinking along the lines of business casual

[cjbarnes2006]

I would agree, and I tried to pick out something business casual as well. I think the shirt would be appropriate as long as it is professional looking, and you wear it with nice slacks or a skirt. But if you're not sure, maybe you could wear it with a blazer or a nice cardigan sweater.

i'm glad someone else is thinking business casual also! i'll bring some form of blazer or cardigan just to be safe

Things like that are usually tests to see if you can follow directions. You'd be better off only leaving big things that apply to nursing and using the interview to mention everything else.

My physics teacher in high school said he'd never hire anyone who didn't fill in every blank and follow the directions. In this case, I think it'd be best if you kept to the 1 page.
