What kind of learner are you?
Give us an example of a project where quality was of the utmost importance and how you were involved. What where the challenges and how did you address them?

Email everything to careers@trainsignal.com Let's see what you've got...

Additionally, if your prove to us this summer that you're a Rock Star and can help the team out there is potential for a long term position when you wrap up school.
