I have sent two of my sons off to college with much advice. First and foremost: dont believe what you hear from students. Same goes for officiating. Dont believe what other officials tell you. While they might be well-intentioned (but maybe not!) get verification of anything you hear. And regardless of your experience and level, find out who the top dogs are and ask one to mentor you. Make sure he/she is highly regarded within the new association and make your intentions clear.
Take any and every assignment you can (within reason) and always complement your partner (great call! nice game! etc) Lastly, hope and pray for good luck and/or a break.
