Keep in mind that the bid deadline for OCI Week 1 and all off-campus programs is FRIDAY, JULY 6, at NOON.\u00a0 That’s a hard deadline.<\/p>\n

As you finalize and upload your materials, some questions that might pop up —<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0If the employer does not require a cover letter, should I use one anyway?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    No.\u00a0\u00a0Employers will ask for\u00a0any materials they need.<\/p>\n

    2.\u00a0 If I’ve reached my document limit on Symplicity, can I delete a document after I’ve used it to bid?<\/strong><\/p>\n
