Never count on a flow program. Do what it takes to get qualified and competitive. Build your resume with some kind of leadership position, but have some points outside of work I.e volunteer work or community leadership.

Flow programs can be renegotiated, violated, arbitrated, delayed, etc.

They may work when the economy and hiring prospects are good....

The opportunities for hiring that exist today haven’t been seen in a very long time and should not be squandered by focusing on a flow through.
