我怎样才能得到实习机会?

Landing the perfect internship will not follow a strict linear process: to be effective, you’ll need to keep your eyes and ears open to opportunities and regularly plan and connect with others. The sooner you start planning for your internship, the better.  The main activities to landing an internship include: meeting with faculty and staff at 澳门新葡京官网 to get advice; scanning 握手 and your networks for opportunities; shaping your resume for specific positions and applying; and drafting the learning contract with your faculty sponsor.

• 向教职员工寻求建议. Make an appointment with staff in the Krulak研究所 or 职业服务 to discuss your options and review your interests. Meet with a representative as early as possible, ideally early in the fall or 春季学期 prior to when you hope to have an internship. Some opportunities require planning two terms in advance. You can schedule meetings using 握手. 

• 寻找机会. 利用你的人际网络来确定选择. 与澳门新葡京官网的教职员工交谈, 你在社区里遇到的人, and spend time regularly scanning opportunities in the 握手 database. Generate a list and make initial contact to inquire about application timelines or specific expectations for interns at the organization. Reviewing opportunities will help you clarify your interests and what you hope to gain from the internship experience.  

• 塑造你的简历并申请. Update your resume and online profiles (e.g., 握手 and LinkedIn): emphasize your skills, relevant experiences, and aspirations. Solicit feedback and use tutorials to build a strong profile, and prepare for your interviews through mock interviews and other practice sessions. Tailor your resume for specific internships, then apply.

• 起草学习合同. Work with a faculty sponsor (and your internship site, if possible) to craft a proposal for your learning contract so that you can earn credit. Your contract serves as the way to formalize your learning insights from the internship and ensures you earn academic credit for your work.
