Why should you do an internship?
According to Oakland University’s Career Services’ website, employers are most likely to hire a candidate that has completed at least one internship. The NACE 2007 Recruiting Benchmarks Survey states that employers offered full-time jobs to nearly 2 out of 3 interns.
What is my internship like?
At the Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber, I get to: write press releases, update social media websites, create flyers, and expand my knowledge on how to use programs.
What is my advice for people looking to do an internship?
Visit Career Services in 154 North Foundation Hall to get your resume checked by a trained professional and to perform a mock interview. Don’t forget to contact the internship director for your field.
Advice for an interview
Bring business cards, samples of your work, letters of recommendations, a resume with at least five references, and a cover letter. Don’t forget to contact the internship director for your field. Send a thank you letter after the interview (preferably a handwritten one).
Suggestions for Interns
Give all of your co-workers business cards and never turn down an assignment! Everyone at the office will provide you with an excellent recommendation later.
