University Career Services will host a “How to Find an Internship” workshop on Sept. 20 to help students familiarize themselves with the process.
Students will be given tips for navigating the Career Services website, which will help them find job opportunities.
The workshop will focus on teaching students about the tools available to them through University Career Services, such as getting their resumes ready and contacting employers, said Tim Stiles, associate director of Career Services.
Gary Miller, assistant director and business internship coordinator, will lead the workshop.
Its primary goal will be to introduce students to the online system and to the process of finding an internship, said Miller.
“The difference between getting and missing out on an internship is understanding the necessary steps,” he said.
He added that students should network with potential employers, UNC alumni and other connections after submitting their resumes.
He said that since there are such a large number of resumes submitted every year, extra connections and one-on-one interactions with potential employers can greatly increase a student’s chance of landing an internship.
There will be an Internship Prep event Sept. 25th to help students obtain internships.
