Tips

Get organized.

• An internship search involves a lot of information and details; make sure you use the Job Search Tracker to keep track of everything (e.g. companies of interest, application deadlines, etc).

Identify a starting point.

• Even if you are open to many types of opportunities, you will need to start somewhere! The CaPS World of Work handout provides an听overview of aspects to consider, such as:
  • Departments/Units
  • Companies/Organizations
  • Fields/Industries
  • Geographical Location(s)

Look for publicly advertised internship opportunities...but don鈥檛 stop there!

• Seek out jobs postings sites/platforms which are focused on your fields of interest or the geographical areas you鈥檙e targeting so that you minimize the time you spend scrolling; and LinkedIn are good places to start. Check the CaPS website for additional programs/ideas
• Make use of helpful features such as job alerts to increase the efficiency of your search
• Take note of the qualifications and skills required, especially those which come up consistently
• Note down interesting employers/organizations to research further

Identify companies and organizations doing interesting work.

• Compile a short list of fields/industries you are interested in
• Use Industry Guides and Directories, LinkedIn etc. to identify potential employers
• Research any organizations of interest in depth
• Get in contact to ask questions, inquire about internship opportunities, and to apply directly for current openings or for future consideration

Interviewing for internships.

• For an internship, you would prepare yourself for the interview just as you would prepare for a job interview.听 You should expect to be answered traditional types of questions, behavior-based questions and be prepared for all different types of interviews.听 These could include but are not limited to telephone screenings, one-on-one, peer group, panel, luncheon, video and second interviews.
• Some internships may not require a formal interview, but come in as prepared and that means your own questions about working with a particular employer. Don't settle working for an employer that presents some red flags听if you don't have to!

Tips

Setting your Learning Competencies can help you make the most of your internship

• At the end of your internship, you will probably feel satisfied and happy with your internship partly because of the learning competencies you set and worked on

Accepting and declining internship offers:

• When an offer of an internship is extended, it is most often communicated through a telephone conversation.听 If an offer is extended in the form of a letter, a follow-up phone call will more than likely follow the letter.听听An acceptance email听by the student who has been granted an internship is optional.听 If you have been offered an internship by more than one organization, it will be necessary to choose and accept one position.听 At the same time, it will also be necessary to inform the organizations whose internships you do not accept that you will not be interning with them.听 This may be accomplished by telephone, however, a follow-up email听would be an added piece of professionalism.

• Evaluate the experience鈥�Take time to evaluate what you have learned and reflect on the experience on your own or using the Reflection Journals provided by the ISA Office.

Some notes about reflection and why this is an effective way to get the most out of your internship:

• Reflection is the means by which students come to understand the meaning and impact of their efforts. They link what they have learned about themselves and the academic disciplines to what they have done in the community with others.
• Reflection is the intentional consideration of the experience in light of a particular learning objective.
• Reflection also provides the opportunity to practice and enhance one鈥檚 capacity for critical thinking.
• Lastly, reflection can function as a means to celebrate oneself and the accomplishments of a community based-learning partnership.
