SCHOOL DAZE
No internships in a field in which they are de rigueur.
Internship(s) in an unrelated field (especially if it ties
in with her courses/activities, indicating the candidate’s real
area of interest lies elsewhere).
Poor or no recommendation from his internship super-
visor or a negative reaction from the candidate about its
value. (Even if his internship turned out to test nothing but
his coffee-making skills, a smart interviewee would never
introduce such a negative into the interview.)
