Career Advisor Scott Webb MPA ’07 draws on years of experience in the field to offer advice and insights on how to get hired in international development, even during a pandemic.
The best way to start a career is to set yourself apart from the crowd. MIIS is an important piece in any journey to strive for excellence in your career. Not only will it give you recognition in the field, but it will also give you the skills required to continue to earn recognition through awards, certifications, and successfully tackling your career market after graduation.
Best advice for a MIIS student today? Don’t be passive. Work with professors to design your own immersive learning projects, apply for funding, and get published. If you’re up for it, it’s a great way to do some hands-on learning that is a little more real world than perhaps a structured program.
We recognize that this has been a challenging time for everyone as we adapt to the realities of a global pandemic. We have heard from many of you that you are concerned about how the current situation will impact your future internship and job prospects.While your program’s advisor has been in touch with you since the beginning of the outbreak, we would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Center for Advising and Career Services to update you on what we’re doing to support you.
Students from the Translation, Interpretation, and Localization Management (TILM) degrees secure jobs and internships during busy week of career-related events at the Middlebury Institute.
