Internship Tips

• What are you doing now that will get you the job you want tomorrow? Your self-motivation shows by the actions you take today.
• Join a professional organization. You will learn more about your field and will have the opportunity to meet professionals who can become part of your network.
• Meet with the professionals at their offices to learn more about what they do and their likes and dislikes about the industry.
• Volunteer to write that PSA or design that brochure for a United Way agency. You will not only help the agency but you will also be adding to your portfolio clips.
