Default Re: First Job

On related note I managed to get my first computer science related job this summer because of my resume on our schools career service website. I was pretty stressed about the interview at first, but once I met the employer in person he seemed more laid back than I would have thought. At any rate he pretty much asked me about everything on my resume and my interest in the field and other pretty common questions.

So I would advise you to only put things on your resume that you can actually say something about. Also don't over practice answers for questions that you would anticipate. It's probably just my personal opinion, but I feel like it would be better to answer questions with a more genuine feel instead of as if it was regurgitated word for word.
