Hi guys,
I'm going into my second year at university, and I was just wondering what has the recruitment, networking, and application timeline been in the past for some people. What I have heard varies from person to person. Some people say I should start networking right now in June, others say to hold off to Sept-Oct. And when do applications typically open up?
