YOUR ACTION STEP

Convince directors you are a good fit for them. If you have a program in mind, take some time to research it thoroughly and note the things that make them unique for you. If you don’t have a program in mind, take this as your sign to begin searching -- some great tools to help in this process are the AND directory, the FNCE Supervised Practice Fair, and virtual open houses.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Annie!
