    Peer Advice for a Successful Search

    "For companies that I had no connection to, I searched for Swat alums at those companies on LinkedIn and sent them an email asking if they had any advice about getting a job and if they had a few minutes to talk. Often times, they were happy to hop on a phone call. Initially, I was nervous about talking with people I did not know, but Swat alums are always very nice."
