Why should you participate in the English Internship Program?

Besides getting a foot in the door with a potential employer and looking good on a résumé, internships have other advantages:

  • The opportunity to "test drive" a career (Would I be happier in marketing or advertising? Am I more comfortable working with patients or in a lab?)
  • Chances to network
  • Establishing relationships with mentors
  • Possible college credit or certification
  • An introduction to the field's culture and etiquette (Are clients addressed by their first name? Are jeans appropriate for Casual Friday?)
  • Accumulating new skills
  • Gaining a "real world" perspective on an occupation (How much overtime do employees really work? How much time is spent behind a desk versus in the field?)
