Seattle

Upon accepting my job offer last fall, I wanted to have a bit of a say in what project I get put on when I start in September. The clients my firm works on are all over the country and the globe for that matter, so there is a lot to choose from. I figure that traveling when I'm young could be a really great experience so I have made it my goal to show interest in projects that can utilize my skills and would also involve seeing new places.

Considering that I interned at the firm last summer, I already know many people who work there that were on my project. Getting in touch with them is going to be crucial in getting my foot in the door on a good project. I have also heard about a relatively new project that is in Seattle. Wow, that's far away. I've never been there, so living out there for a few months could be a fun time. Either way, explore your options. Talk to whoever your boss will be and express your interests to them. It could mean the difference between an extremely boring assignment and an exotic vacation.
