&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Last week our new employees began their professional careers at BPM.

The team got to know one another over mock audits, systems trainings, soft skills trainings, and many happy hours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;WELCOME TO BPM, new employees!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

A huge THANK YOU to all who participated, especially the students who juggle 7-12 interviews at a time!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next step is IN HOUSE interviews, which are a lot more fun. Candidates get to finally have a glimpse at what a potential career at BPM will be like.&lt;/p&gt;

Do your research on the firm you are interviewing with.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2.  Know yourself and what is on your resume.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3.  Wear the coat! We assume you show up to the interview looking and smelling your BEST.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4.  Be yourself. Take 3 breaths in, 3 breaths out, for 3 seconds each. It works&amp;#8230;a bit.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://becausepeoplematter.tumblr.com/post/11394790380</link><guid>http://becausepeoplematter.tumblr.com/post/11394790380</guid><pubDate>Thu, 13 Oct 2011 10:06:05 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Social Media Etiquette: Thank You SLO</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Good luck to all the SLO students who will be tackling the Career Fair this week. A couple take aways from yesterday:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Google Yourself&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. PRIVACY SETTINGS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Get on LinkedIn and start building your network&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Though Social Media isn&amp;#8217;t going anywhere, don&amp;#8217;t neglect REAL NETWORKING. An in person meeting always promotes a much stronger connection. Make yours count this week!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks again to CPAC and The Consulting Club for having us out!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://becausepeoplematter.tumblr.com/post/11374173433</link><guid>http://becausepeoplematter.tumblr.com/post/11374173433</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Oct 2011 20:10:21 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Sonoma State Tour de Campus 5k</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsejryjBUS1qjxyego1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sonoma State Tour de Campus 5k&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://becausepeoplematter.tumblr.com/post/10900396045</link><guid>http://becausepeoplematter.tumblr.com/post/10900396045</guid><pubDate>Sat, 01 Oct 2011 15:35:51 -0400</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
