SANS work study program

[beechey at northwood.edu (Beechey, Jim)]

Yes, I have in Orlando 2008.  A couple thoughts...  First, they now give preference to SANS Technology Institute 
students (I'm in the program) since being a work study is a requirement for the degree.  Second, they aren't kidding 
that you do really work hard during the week, especially the first couple days.  Because of this it seems (my opinion) 
like they do take back people who have done well in the past.  Third, apply early and provide as wide a range as 
possible for the courses you'd be interested in.  These positions are very much in demand because of the great discount 
you receive.  Fourth, make sure you convey in your application your willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job 
done.  This isn't glamorous work, you have to be willing to be a grunt for the week.

Hope that helps
Jim

Hi Guys,

Have any of you succesfully applied for the SANS work study program?

I had a try last year and got rejected, I know these positions are highly sort after and the compititon level is going 
to be high. I just wanted to know if any of you had any tips on applying.

Thanks in advance,

Duncan
