HOW TO GET THAT INTERNSHIP YOU DESIRE!!!

Hey, B-W students!

Looking for internships??? I am looking for an internship too…besides being a great resume builder, it will allow me to gain hands-on experience and apply my in-class learning to real life situations. An internship will also give me a chance to test drive a career. With this in mind, The Career & Internship Expo is a great way to meet a variety of employers who are hiring. This event will be held November 5th from 5:30-8:00 p.m. in the Student Union. Come prepared with your updated resumes and confidence to meet the employers. Consider these important steps on how to prepare for the Career & Internship Expo:

First, update your resume and have it critiqued by a Career Advisor at Express Lanes from 2:00-4:00 p.m. in the Main Lounge of Lang Hall. If you don’t have a resume don’t worry you can attend the Resume Writing Clinic, from 11:45-12:45 p.m. in Malicky 114. Both Express Lanes and the Clinic are scheduled for Thursday October, 29th.

Second, prepare yourself and your image to meet the employers at the fair. Plan to attend Creating the Polished Professional workshop on Thursday November 3rd from 11:45-12:45 in Kamm 107. John Fuehrer, Assistant Professor in the Business Division, is the key presenter. You will receive practical advice to help you create a poised, self-assured and competitive professional image.

Finally, prepare for the Career & Internship Expo by learning how to navigate the expo, how to approach the employers, and much more. The How to Prepare for a Career Fair event will also give you a chance to ask specific questions. This workshop will take place Wednesday, November 4th from 6:00-7:00 p.m. in Kamm 101.

Once you find an internship and you want to receive college credit, be sure to attend an Internship Registration Workshop. This workshop is held every Tuesday from 12:00-12:30 in the Career Services Office, Bonds 104.
