Why Should I Intern?
-
Students who interns are twice as likely to be hired after
graduation as those who have not.
-
An internship will give you a chance to experience your chosen
field in a real-world situation, to be sure it is what you
really want to do.
-
Some internships count for college credit.
-
Interns are advantageously placed to compete for jobs where
they intern.
-
Working with experienced professionals in your field will help
you build a network of resources.
Will I Be Paid?
Some employers do pay their interns, others do not. Remember, you
are gaining expereience in your chosen field through the
internship. This will be more valuable than money when you look
for a permanent job. If you cannot afford to give up a summer job
to intern, look for an internship that you can do part-time, along
with your paying job.
What Do I Need to Do to Find an Internship?
First, you should register at the CCBC student internship
site www.myinterfase.com/catonsville/student
. Then, the internship coordinator for your school will contact
you and activate your information so that you can use the online
CCBC student internship database to look for internship postings
from approved employers. Approved employers will also be able to
look at resumes in the database and contact you directly if they
are interested.
Second, you need to have a professional quality resume for
employers to look at.
Students in the CCBC School of Mathematics and Science can get
help with this from
Or, you can get help from your campus Career Development Center:
Third, you need a recommendation from a faculty member in
your major stating that you are ready to benefit from an
internship. Forward both your resume and the recommendation to Dr.
ReVelle at the address below.
