>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

>Work 101: Preparing for Your Internship
>Wednesday, April 28, 2010, 7:10-8:45pm, Room 4-270
>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. 
>Sign up on CareerBridge.

>Interviewing for Internships
>Thursday, April 29, 2010, 2-3pm, Room 66-144
>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 
>particular. For more information and to
