Response from Educational Institutions. Each educational institution may have a different way of referring applicants, such as: sending resumes directly to the design professional; having the applicant contact the design professional by phone; require design professionals to conduct on-campus interviews; or some other method. The timing and method of the response will normally be discussed with the design professional during the initial phone request. The design professional is required to follow the process set by the educational institution(s) in order to get the referrals.
