Corporate recruiting is viewed as a rite of passage for Economics majors at Dartmouth, as students transition from learning about econ in class to stepping foot in the corporate world. There is no clearly defined outline for how to participate in recruiting and there are lots of pieces that you can only learn and understand by being a part of the process. Frequently shared pieces of corporate recruiting folklore include horror stories about interviews, material folklore about attire and implicit etiquette shared by word of mouth.
