<blockquote type="cite" cite><b>Maximizing Your Internship
Experience</b></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Wednesday, April 21, 2010, 3-4pm, Room
66-160</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>You've landed an internship! Now what? If
you play your cards right, an internship can be an amazing learning
experience: a great resource for references and networking contacts,
resume-building, and can sometimes lead to a full-time position. In
this workshop, we'll discuss strategies for before, during and after
your internship experience to help you get the most out of your
internship. Advance registration on CareerBridge at <a

<blockquote type="cite" cite><b>Work 101: Preparing for Your
Internship</b></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Wednesday, April 28, 2010, 7:10-8:45pm,
Room 4-270</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Think you've got what it takes to wow a
recruiter or dazzle 'em at your first internship? Think again.
According to Monster.com, nearly 30% of companies are fed up with how
their new employees, dress, communicate, and hold a knife and fork.
The result? Those of us with a clue get better gigs, plum assignments,
and more opportunities. Work 101 gives you the clue you want (and
need) to outshine, outclass, and outsmart the competition. This
seminar will teach you the keys to surviving and thriving in the
working world, delivered by Elizabeth Freedman, MBA, and 2005 APCA
Finalist for College Speaker of the Year. You'll learn: § What it
takes to become the kind of employee bosses love § How to 'have
them at hello' § What it really takes to build the kind of
reputation you want to have in the workplace § What not to order,
wear, say, or do at a business lunch § The real rules for dressing
business casual- what to wear and when § How to network when you
hate to network and master the relationship rules of the workplace.

Internships</b></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>You've almost got the job...so don't bomb
the interview! We'll discuss how to prepare for the interviewing
process, questions you can anticipate to be asked, and appropriate
follow-up techniques. Knowing what to expect helps tone down those
butterflies so you can put your best face forward and demonstrate your
qualifications effectively. This workshop will also address how to
frame your skills and experiences when interviewing for internships in
