Edwin, an anthropomorphic jackrabbit, is wearing a business casual outfit and has a grumpy expression on his face. He gives job searching tips by speaking directly to the reader using a dialogue bubble. Edwin says,
"Going to school? Make sure to create a Plan A, B, and maybe C about what jobs to pursue after you graduate. May and June are hot times for both undergrad and graduate students to get jobs. Be careful of being too picky. You do not want it to be August; all the entry-level jobs are filled, and you are scrambling for anything so you can pay bills and eat."
