Reading over the materials, I'm reminded of how much more sophisticated entry-level candidates are today than just a few years ago. When I went on the market in the fall of 2000, for example, I didn't have much of a sense of what I was doing. I don't think other entry-level candidates did, either. My sense is that the Internet has changed that. There is so much more information about the process on the web that the average candidate today is much more savvy than the average candidate a decade ago.
