Line Etiquette:
Annenberg Career Services staff will be actively monitoring employer lines at the hiring showcase to ensure that all students and alumni enter the line at the END of the line. Students and alumni jumping ahead of others in line will be asked to go to the back of the line and wait their turn in a first-come, first-served manner.
