      Provides seniors with the foundation for a successful experience in the recruiting program.
      Fundamentals of a job search are reviewed, and training provided for use of CDO's
      "OCEAN" (Online Career Exploration And Networking) web based system.

      While all seniors may "Browse" OCEAN, training is REQUIRED to use the
      system to submit applications, and eventually, schedule on and off
      campus interviews.

      including On Campus Interviews, Resume Referrals, City-Based
      Recruiting Days, and the Coast To Coast Virtual Fair in the Spring
      Semester, are required to complete one during their senior year.
