Twitter Recruiter Q&A Fall 2014

I have done a series of posts about the Twitter Q&As that the Dinsey Profesional Intern Recruiters have put on the last few semesters. Here are the questions that I have found that the recruiters answered during the Fall 2014 season. These are the questions the recruiters answered during the session, which is not all that were asked. I will do a separate post answering the questions that went unanswered. 

Main Questions Answered During Q&A Session
Note: The further back I go in twitter, the harder it has been to find all the questions and answers that were apart of the session. The numbering is what was included in the Questions and Answers on twitter unless otherwise noted.
