Effective Research Techniques

"As a general rule, the most successful people in life are
those who have the best information." - Disraeli

Effective research requires the use of a few different strategies and a plan of action. Taking time to do research means that you are more likely to uncover "hidden" opportunities for experience-based learning and/or employment beyond Wheaton. The more you know about a site, the better you can shape your materials (resume, cover letter, application) to reflect your skills and experience that are most relevant to what you seek.
