Tips for Landing Internships
Do…
…your research
- Learn as much as you can about the organization and position to which you are applying. Demonstrating that you have done your homework shows a prospective employer that you are interested and enthusiastic about working with them.
… take advantage of campus resources
- Check out all that the Career Center (http://www.lawrence.edu/dept/student_dean/career/) and the Center for Community Engagement & Social Change (CCE) (https://www.lawrence.edu/offices/volunteer/volunteer-opportunities/) have to offer. Staff can help you search for positions, fill out applications, and connect with alumni working in your field of interest.
- Also, the Career Center offers a variety of workshops designed to help you with the internship search and application process.
