Make It Happen: Apply

Once you have identified the internship you would like to apply for and your resume and cover letter are finalized and edited, you are ready to apply. Your resume and cover letter can help you get an interview but networking, negotiating, and interviewing can help you get the job. Check out your next steps:

Submit Your Application

When you submit your resume and cover letter online, send a follow-up email to ensure your resume and cover letter were received. If there is no direct contact information, you may want to talk at the organization by looking up the general phone number on the company website and asking to speak with Human Resources.

Schedule a Mock Interview

Once you have an interview lined up, then practice, practice, and practice. Come in to the Career Development office for a mock interview.

A mock interview is a 30-minute individual session with a Career Development specialist to help you prepare and strategize for future interviews. You will be asked to respond to traditional and behavioral interviewing questions. After the interview, you will get constructive feedback regarding your interviewing style and responses.
