“Now is the time to start planning your summer internship! Learn strategies for finding or creating the best summer internship for you.

At this session, we will:

Come to this session with the peer advisors and get your résumé approved!  Make sure to see the rubric in our Résumé and Cover Letter Guide first.  You can come anytime during the 2-hour window and peer advisors will be on hand to work with you to improve your résumé.  This is not a session on how to write a résumé, or start a new one.  The emphasis is on making your current resume better to get the opportunity you want!  

Come to this session led by a peer advisor to learn more about what exactly networking is, how to do it, and why it is important.  You’ll walk away with tips to use Midd2Midd and LinkedIn better, what to write in outreach emails and the top 10 questions to ask during informational chats.  Plus, learn about the elevator pitch for more of the impromptu networking that can happen at events, compared to the planned process of reaching out and targeting individuals.

This is a time for you to dig in and find something to do this summer!  There will be active support from peer career advisors who will be available to assist you in your searching.  Come with specific ides of the type of thing you’re looking for, or just a general idea is fine too.  Peer advisors can show you resources and tools to help you navigate the search the best way possible in Handshake, Midd2Midd and more.  This is not a lecture, so get ready to be busy and make progress!
