Resume and Cover Letter Development

You may be required to submit a resume and cover letter to the Internship Director. The resume should include what classes you have been taken in this field of study and detail your work and volunteer experiences. The cover letter may be a derivative of the Statement of Interest. The Internship Director will review and provide you feedback on the resume and cover letter or refer you to Career Services for assistance. You may choose, or the Internship Director may require, that you complete a series of Career Services workshops or advising sessions on topics such as internship search strategies, resume & cover letter writing, or mock-interviewing/interviewing techniques.

Internship Interview

Once approved for an interview by the Internship Director, you will make contact with the agency/site. The interview may occur via email/phone/in person, depending on the needs/requests of the site, to assess if an internship is appropriate. You should plan to attend a mock-interviewing/interviewing techniques workshops offered by Career Services in preparation.

The site supervisor will contact the Internship Director regarding the decision to accept the student as an intern for credit.
