<p>definitely. or better yet, get paid internships. that's slightly more difficult though.</p>
<p>sounds right to me....where are some good places to look for these?</p>
<p>Eh. I found my job on Craigslist. When I was looking I mostly focused on Craigslist, MonsterTrak, and the career center website. Those are probably the best bets. </p>
<p>tip from me- make sure your resume is perfect (ie- professional) and ALWAYS, ALWAYS include a cover letter unless they specifically ask you not to. ALWAYS. More often than not you'll be applying through email, so make sure in the body of the email you address the person who listed the job (absolutely no to whom it may concerns...) and write a few paragraphs about why you'd be good for the job, why it'd be good for you, and your relative experience. This is hugely important, especially when you're applying to an ad on craigslist that will garner hundreds of emails per day. </p>
<p>sorry to hijack the thread, but i feel like thats something too many people don't know to do. and my boss told me i was the only one (out of HUNDREDS) to use a cover letter, and that's why he noticed me.</p>
<p>also- keep in mind that it will probably take a while to land something. this is especially true for paid internships where the competition is out of control. I applied seriously for ~4 months before i got my job. Went on countless interviews, most were jobs i weren't interested in so i didnt follow up. I got through to a FOURTH round of interviews for one company only to not get the job. so don't get too disheartened if you don't land the first internship you interview for, and account for how long it takes when you start to apply (so if you want a fall internship, don't start looking in august. most are gone by then).</p>
<p>if you dont mind posting it, how did you get a parking spot here AND in weho? you are the master of parking. thx.</p>
<p>An A+ should be a 4.3.</p>
<p>That is all.</p>
<p>thanks allie</p>
<p>
For law schools, that is what an A+ is considered as. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Devr- totally. </p>
<p>Ben- eh. Well, I have the parking spot for my apartment which is included in my rent. I got the school parking pass because I take special care to keep my documents in order in the event of an audit and i know how to get points. And weho sucks, but my office is on the beverly hills/weho border and I park on the street. Its in a transition area between business and residential and usually its not too hard to find a spot somewhere. If I decide to go full time at my company post-graduation (which my boss actually brought up today), they'll pay for garage parking. So I have it covered.</p>
<p>Yessssss...got an A on my first UCLA class! It was Advanced Vietnamese, but hey, I'll take what I can get. :D</p>
<p>Wah wah wah, an A- is worth 3.7.</p>
<p>Guess what? That's how it is at most schools. Remember kiddos, you may not like the 3.7 that is the A-, but you sure as heck love the 3.3 that is the B+.</p>
<p>So quit your bellyaching. :mad:</p>
<p>good job bfired2...how was that class?</p>
<p>Ari- But i get waaaaaaaaaaaay more A-s than I get B+s. I totally realize that its fairly standard, but I'll still complain about it. Always and forever.</p>
<p>yea the +/- system has its benefits (B+), but getting an A- sux.</p>
<p>allie,</p>
<p>Okay, just as long as you realize you aren't being "picked on" by UCLA.</p>
<p>What's the range for an A- anyhow? 90-92,93?</p>
<p>lol i know im not being picked on. its just really effing annoying.</p>
<p>If a course is uncurved:</p>
<p>A+ = 97-100%
A = 93-96%
A- = 90-92%</p>
<p>B+ = 87-89%
B = 83-86%
B- = 80-82%</p>
<p>C+ = 77-79%
C = 73-76%
C- = 70-72%</p>
<p>D = 50-69%
F = <50%</p>
<p>I hope that applies everywhere flopsy, </p>
<p>And does UCLA give out A+??</p>
<p>they do, but it's just worth the same as a regular A</p>
