Applying For An Internship: The Steps Involved

1. Decide how the internship will fit into your program. Discuss with your Faculty Internship Advisor to learn about eligibility, requirements, and process for receiving credit.

2. Schedule an appointment (X4287) to meet with a Career Counselor to review your resume and discuss your internship development strategies - learn about the resources available to assist you with your search; explore the on-line, self-service Internship Database; become familiar with strategies useful in developing and researching internships, including: networking, cold calling, informational interviewing, business etiquette, interviewing tips and procedures, making employer contact, on-line searching...

3. Participate in a mock interview (optional). You will be expected to send a thank you note following each interview. If you need assistance, please visit Career Services for samples and guidance or review our online resources.

You are expected to be an active participant in your internship search. The Career Services Office is not a placement agency for Experiential Education and does not guarantee internships.
