Common Question Q: "I know this is last minute, but I need help finding an internship. I am so stressed! What should I do?" A: Using CARE, you can help this student in the following ways: Connect: "I know how stressful that can be...." "I'm sorry to hear that..." "We can definitely help you with that." Ask: "Have you had an internship before?" "Have you attended our Finding an Internship Seminar yet?" Recommend: -Internship database -Help log them in. -Check in with them a while later to see if they're finding everything ok. -Seminar schedule -Offer to help them sign up online. -Finding an Internship video (if they're pressed for time) Encourage: "Also, if you would like to read about internship experiences from other Newhouse students, I encourage you to join our LinkedIn group. In this group, you can share your own experience and receive helpful advice articles, too." Then grab a social media card, check off internships and sign your name on the Recommended by line before you hand it to them. Do you have a common question you're unsure of answering? Email it to me at [email protected] Resource of the Week Our Finding an Internship Video is now available on our iMacs! Although there isn't a prerequisite to use our internship database, this video will teach students how to get started with their internship search. Students will also learn which CDC resources to use to help them find an internship. Quick Facts: -It's about 10 minutes long (9:03 to be exact excluding bloopers). -It's a CDC original (thanks to the masterminds of Jeff, Valerie and Whitney!). - The movie Momento inspired Jeff when writing the script. He also directed and played the lead role in the video. -Jeff's roommate, Nick, served as the cinematographer. -It was filmed in the CDC and in the I3 center in N3 last Spring. -It took about 6 weeks to complete from start to finish. -The video is not available online to students. They must come into the office to watch it. On the rare occasion a study abroad student asks for it, we can email them a private link to watch it online (see the Resources for Study Abroad students folder under Generic Answers). Blooper Reel I need your feedback! Is there anything you'd like me to cover in this blog in general? Do you find this blog helpful? I'd love to receive your feedback here. Thanks!
