Work Experience

<p>Im looking to transfer to Berkeley from a JC and was wondering how important it is to have work experience. On the application do they care how long you hold the job for? Ex. If I only hold the job for a month? I am also wanting to transfer into Haas.</p>

<p>Berkeley lists work experience as "important" in the CDS. I have a feeling it might be even more important for transfers (you're older, you're out of high school, JC tends to be somewhat light, etc.). I would think that the duration of the job is as important as the job itself, as they ask you for that on the app. Given that you want to transfer into a competitive program/school, you'll need all the help you can get.</p>

<p>A strong plurality of the conversation is about Berkeley.</p>
