Are you thinking about applying for spring or summer internships? Now is the time to start the preparation. Did you know that colleges and universities have a department that can help you with your resume, writing cover letters and helping you find employment in areas of interest that align with your studies? Typically, the department could be named: Career Services, Workforce Development, or Student Success Center or some other variation. Typically, they serve current students and alumni. You can walk-in and inquire of services available and make an appointment to dive into your specifics. High school students can typically get some guidance from their guidance counselors and in some cases just asking a teacher. #CareerServices #Students #Internships #StudentSuccess #StudentWorkforceanddevelopment.

Internships Alert❗️❗️❗️ Daily, I encounter numerous college students voicing their struggles in securing internships. They seek my assistance in this quest. However, I've discerned a fundamental issue: many of these aspiring interns might not be putting in the effort to explore opportunities thoroughly. Why do I hold this belief? Because, from my own journey, I've learned one thing: there's an abundance of internship openings waiting to be discovered. 🌟 When I set out to hunt for internships, I cast my net wide across online platforms. And let me tell you, there's an extensive array of internship listings out there. 🌐 Moreover, from my personal experience, I found that out of the internships I applied for, I received acceptance from 9 out of 10. Of course, securing a position is somewhat subjective, influenced by the strength of your resume and cover letter. But the core takeaway is this: finding internship opportunities is far more accessible than some might think. It reminds me of the saying, "When you truly seek something, you're bound to find it." So, if you're among those seeking internships, remember that a wealth of opportunities awaits. Dive into the search, polish your application materials, and make your mark. 🌠 If you've got internship-seeking tips or stories to share, I'd love to hear them.

Tip Tuesday: Resume Tips ⭐Keep your work experience recent and relevant⭐ Stick to showing the last 10-15 years of your career and focus on experiences relevant to the job. Allocate space based on importance. Prioritize details about your current role over additional college internships unless the internship is more relevant to the position you're applying for. #TipTuesday #ResumeTips

As professionals, we often advocate for the significance of internships in shaping future careers. Yet, it's baffling how many overlook internships when considering work experience. If internships don't count, then what truly distinguishes a candidate from being labeled a "fresher"? Internships are not mere footnotes on a resume; they're invaluable opportunities for hands-on learning, skill development, and industry exposure. They provide a platform for individuals to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios, fostering professional growth and adaptability. Ignoring internships in the evaluation of work experience perpetuates a disservice to both candidates. It undermines the efforts and dedication invested by interns and overlooks the tangible contributions they make to organizations. Let's challenge the conventional notion and recognize internships as substantial work experiences. By doing so, we not only acknowledge the efforts of aspiring professionals but also foster a more inclusive and equitable hiring landscape where talent is truly valued based on merit, not arbitrary labels. #InternshipsMatter #ProfessionalGrowth #CareerDevelopment

Quick Tip: If you have graduated from school and are looking for a full-time job, while you're conducting your search do something productive with your time that you can add to your resume and talk about with potential employers at job interviews. It gives you the opportunity to: develop skills; have something satisfying to focus on while conducting your job search; and demonstrate that you are the kind of person who always wants to learn, grow, and use your time productively. Some ideas include getting a certification that will be desirable to employers, find a non-profit organization where you can volunteer in a function related to your area of interest, shadow a professional doing a job you aspire to, or get a micro-internship. Micro-internships are short-term assignments that give you a chance to earn a little money while working on projects utilizing your skills. Parker Dewey is an organization that brings together people looking for experience and companies looking for help completing discrete projects. You can check out projects to see if anything interests you. New projects are added frequently so if there is nothing right now, you might find something a few days later. For your reference I have included the link below. The big takeaway? There's always something you can do to grow your skills and be productive while looking for your first job or if you didn't secure an internship. Use a little creativity, do some research, and you're sure to find something interesting and worthwhile to do with your time!
