Interview prep for this program▸
Ask them
- ▸ "How many of your past SkillBridge interns received full-time offers?" — a serious program knows the number.
- ▸ "Who will my day-to-day mentor be, and what does week one look like?"
- ▸ "The listing says 1 - 30 days — can that flex to my approved window if my command shortens it?"
- ▸ "Is relocation expected for a full-time offer, or can I convert where I am?"
- ▸ "You list 0451, 43E — what did interns from those specialties end up doing here?"
- ▸ Confirm the eligibility notes above — ask exactly what they need from you and when.
