All the details on the process are here. Because of the large number of you planning to intern next year, internships will be competititve. Be sure to: 1) Finish your research here. There have been a few updates to job descriptions and a couple new internships added. Make sure you're aware of everything that is available. 2) Identify 3 internships for which you would like to interview. My recommendation is that you pick a couple you are really interested in, then pick a "stretch" internship. Something you're maybe not quite sure about, but think would challenge you and give you some great experience. 3) Provide a complete and professional application. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. All materials should be typed, not handwritten. Go to the Careers online resources page for help with your résumés and cover letters. Be sure to include information that is relevant to the intern job description. Don't assume. Remember, the host organizations do not know you, so a little detail may be necessary. Want more help? Set up an advising session OR follow Career's 3 Easy steps to get help on your cover letters or résumés. Summer and Post Graduate Internships Application Deadline -- Friday, March 30 Still thinking you might want to do a summer or post graduate internship?
