Top 10 Ways to Land an Internship
Top 10 Ways to Find an Internship
Here are some ideas, in a top 10 list format, of how you might find an internship. You may need several approaches to landing an internship.
Also keep in mind that if you want credit for an internship, you need our approval. You must meet certain criteria and you must complete the internship course. Our web page has the details:
http://www.umassd.edu/charlton/internship.cfm
10. Blasting out resumes – if you know of a company or a nonprofit that you would like to intern for, send them your resume. It is best if you have a contact name at the company but if you don't send it to the
HR department. You might think about scanning job sites like Monster.com or UMD's eRecruiting system for ideas. There are also lists of top 10 employers in various categories. For example, you can find a list on the
Internet or through a publication called the Providence Business News, that lists the top ten CPA firms in Rhode Island. I know a student who sent resumes to the top five CPA firm, landed an internship and then
eventually got an excellent job offer. If you find an internship that way, we can work with you to shape it into a for-credit-internship. Some tips – sending a resume via email is fine if you have a contact name. It will probably be a waste of time to send a resume to a blind HR email.
Your email attachment (resume) should be accompanied by an email message that would be similar to a cover letter – but keep it brief.
9. Vault.com , Yahoo, Monster – You must harness the Net to your advantage – especially if you are looking for internships from out of the 50 mile radius of UMD.
Vault.com Fortune magazine recently called Vault "The best place on the Web to prepare for a job search." The site has videos on top rated internships.
hotjobs.yahoo.com is another place to search for internships. Use the keyword: Internship and search for a specific state: (i.e., MA).
MonsterTRAK is the leading website for college students and alumni to find jobs, internships and part-time work during school and after graduation. In addition to targeted job postings, the site features a range of career management resources including job search tips, alumni networks and more.
Go to Monstertrak.com (www.monstertrak.monster.com)
Select State: Massachusetts.
Select University: University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
Click Search Now.
8. Indeed.com– Indeed is another internet resource/search engine that I have had luck with. I list it as a separate Top 10 List Item because I know of students who have used Indeed to their advantage. With Indeed,
you can conduct keyword searches such as: "Marketing Internship, Boston, MA" and get listings of all postings with those keywords that have recently hit the Internet. And here's the best part, you can specify to
have Indeed.com send you email alerts when job postings with your keywords hit the net. I receive emails from Indeed.com almost every day notifying me of internships in Springfield, Worcester, Boston, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, etc. Sometimes some very interesting opportunities are discovered.
7. eRecruiting – As many of you know, the Career Resource Center subscribes to a service call eRecruiting. It is a job and career planning portal that is run by a Boston-based firm called Experience Inc. eRecruiting is the standard used by many colleges and universities through the US. Bryant University relies heavily on eRecruiting to post internships opportunities and to help their students and grads find jobs and excellent internships. You need to know how to log onto eRecruiting and how to effectively search for internships that make sense for you.
eRecruiting not only offers you local information but it can be used to search all over the country and abroad, for internship opportunities. Investing time in eRecruiting can pay off! Contact Anthony Baird or Betty Goodine in our Career Resource Center if you need help with eRecruiting. The log on link to the portal is:
http://umassd.erecruiting.com/er/security/login.jsp
6. The Washington Center – UMD has a great relationship with the Washington Center, the premier provider of internships in Washington, DC. Twice a year a Washington Center representative visits UMD to discuss their excellent programs. TWC helps you find internships in government, nonprofits, and the profit sectors in DC. Robbin Roy, Associate Director of the Career Resource Center, is our campus liaison for TWC. If you are interested in TWC, visit their web site: www.twc.edu <http://www.twc.edu> and then talk to Robbin. She can tell you about the costs involved, scholarships that are available, logistics etc.
5. A faculty member – Let your favorite faculty member know that you're looking for an internship. Go see them during office hours or mention it after class. Sometimes timing and luck is better than being smart! Just kidding …. But there is some truth to the idea that you might be in the right place at the right time. Sometimes a faculty member will have just heard about a project, job, or internship that might be a great match.
4. Friends and Family, UMD Alumni, etc. – Use all your contacts to find an internship. Who do mom, dad, uncle Charlie, Auntie Edna, the CPA next door, etc. work for and can they help get you into an internship?
Learn how to network. That's where some great opportunities will be born. The CRC is sponsoring a session called "Networking 101". Check out the CRC web site for more details. Our accounting majors are real good
at using networks to find internships. They start with their families and make contacts through their involvement in the Accounting Association. If you join a club and hear a speaker who is interesting, ask the speaker about internships, get their business card etc. There are so many opportunities to get the word out that you are looking for an internship. You need an army of contacts on your side. UMD Alumni also like to help. If you know an alum who works in an area or a company that interests you, talk to them about internships. Students have also landed internships through local temp agencies
3. Referrals from peers who have completed internships – Listen to your peers. If a student has had a good internship, ask them for a contact person or if they know if another position is open. Word-of-mouth is one of the best ways to land an internship and the best part is that you can probably trust your peer's perception of whether it was a good experience.
2. Local nonprofits – Don't ignore local nonprofits. Many are eager to get some good interns on board. Southcoast Hospital Group is the largest employer in the region and they have shown great interest in getting
some CCB students in as interns. The New Bedford Whaling Museum, Zeiterion Performing Arts Center, CEDC (VITA Program), the Fall River and New Bedford Chambers of Commerce, etc. have all either utilized CCB
interns in the past or would like to do so. Nonprofits usually don't pay interns (although a small minority does). Especially during these tough economic times, a nonprofit might be your best bet for an excellent
internship experience.
1. The Internship Blog and emails – As many of you know, I receive internship announcements from local companies and I usually send targeted emails to junior and seniors. For example, if I know of a CPA firm internship, accounting juniors and seniors get the email. Marketing internships get sent to marketing majors and so on. Just about all emails also get posted on the Internship Blog:
www.businessinternships.blogspot.com/
Make it a habit to check the blog for current listings but all check out the archives of the blog for all postings and if there is anything there that seems of interest, don't hesitate to send a quick email to the contact person to see if an internship might be available and if not, when one might come open.
Here is a tip about responding to any internship postings: good things happen when you respond quickly with a well done resume. Internships are competitive situations. We don't "place" students into internships, you must "land the internship" by sending a resume, getting an interview, and making a good impression. If you need help with your resume ask the folks at the CRC for help, get a knowledgeable family member or friend
to review it or a respected faculty member. If you don't have a resume yet, check out the Optimal Resume portal available through the CRC. It is excellent and can also help you with cover letters. I have used it
several times to help students and it is a great tool. If you need help with Optimal Resume, contact CRC – but it is quite easy to use and simple to log onto.
Good luck hunting for internships.

Spring or Summer MKT internships with ZipCar
Have you heard of ZipCar? If not read this from the company:
Company: Zipcar
Location: 25 First Street
Cambridge,MA 02141
Overview:
In the fall of 1999, our two Zipcar founders were sitting in a café, excited about a concept they had seen in Berlin while on vacation. Cars were parked around the city for members to drive by the hour instead of owning their own vehicles. They had a Eureka! moment (or maybe it was more like, "Duh! What an obvious idea.") They put an American spin on it - outfitting the cars with wireless technology, creating a hassle-free reservation system and strategically placing the cars around key cities and neighborhoods. In June of 2000 the first Zipcars were on the road. The masses could now drive cars by the hour or day - on their terms.
Present
Today, tens of thousands of smiling drivers use Zipcars. In many neighborhoods, Zipcars are as ubiquitous as ATMs. Z2B (business) and personal drivers alike are loving the freedom and cost savings a Zipcar brings to their life - many have even achieved transportation nirvana. That's why over 40% of our customers have either sold their car or have stopped their purchasing decision. The revolution is underway, at least in the minds of members who no longer give a second thought to how they will get where they need to go. With a Zipcard in your pocket, a car is only a wireless signal away.

VITA (Income Tax) Internship S2009
For income tax training which will begin in January 2009, we will soon be accepting CCB students as volunteers into the VITA program, a federal income tax return assistance program. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is a cooperative effort by the Internal Revenue Service and many individual states, including Massachusetts, to provide income tax assistance to low-income individuals, handicapped or elderly. Volunteers trained by the Internal Revenue Service prepare basic income tax returns free of charge at VITA sites. Our local site is at the CEDC in New Bedford. ON NOVEMBER 12, 2008 at 11:00 am and Noon, we will be holding an INFORMATION SESSION on the VITA program in room 306 of the Charlton College of Business. We will answer questions about how you can apply for a VITA/CEDC New Bedford Internship for the Spring 2009 semester.
The VITA program is also accepting volunteers for the Spring 2009 semester. Here's a link to an IRS web page that describes the program: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=107626,00.html
This is a program that helps our local residents in two ways: it gives them assistance in preparing their tax returns and it helps them take advantage of the earned income credit - a bit of an economic boost that can help these folks make ends meet. For a student, this is a great way to give back to the community, create an significant resume item that shows civic engagement and a desire to learn something new (and practical), and allows you to achieve an IRS exam certification. From this year's VITA program, There is a good chance that we will be able to structure 2-or 3 internships for juniors or seniors (3 credits for a business elective).
For some who participate in the VITA program and carry out this volunteer commitment, there could be a small ($300-$400) tuition reduction through a UMD program. However, the real motivating factor for your participation in this program is not financial but rather, the opportunity to help some people who need your help , while at the same time learning a great deal about federal income tax and the workings of a great nonprofit like the CEDC.
For your information, the CEDC's mission is as follows: The Community Economic Development Center of Southeastern Massachusetts seeks to create a more just local economy by building bridges to resources, networks, and cooperative action for adults, youth, aspiring entrepreneurs, working families, grassroots organizations, and immigrant workers members of our community. The work of the CEDC is created and directed by the people who will benefit most from its success. CEDC challenges economic and political institutions and policies that exclude full participation and access to power by all members of our community. Please email me and let me know which session on Nov. 12th you would like to attend. We will meet at 11:00 am and then again at noon.

VITA Program
Hi CCB majors:
Maybe you have already heard the buzz. In January 2008, we will be
accepting CCB students as volunteers into the VITA program, a federal
income tax return assistance program. The Volunteer Income Tax
Assistance (VITA) program is a cooperative effort by the Internal
Revenue Service and many individual states, including Massachusetts,
to provide income tax assistance to low-income individuals,
handicapped or elderly. Volunteers trained by the Internal Revenue
Service prepare basic income tax returns free of charge at VITA
sites. Our local site is at the CEDC in New Bedford.
As I am starting to get inquiries into this program as the word as
leaked out, I want you to know that we will be having an information
session in a week or two and as soon as I have a date, I'll blast out
an announcement via email to all CCB students. Here's a link to an
IRS web page that describes the program:
http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=107626,00.html
This is a program that helps our local residents in two ways: it
gives them assistance in preparing their tax returns and it helps
them take advantage of the earned income credit - a bit of an
economic boost that can help these folks make ends meet. For a
student, this is a great way to give back to the community, create an
significant resume item that shows civic engagement and a desire to
learn something new (and practical), and allows you to achieve an IRS
exam certification. From this year's VITA program, There is a good
chance that we will be able to structure 2-or 3 internships for
juniors or seniors (3 credits for a business elective). For some who
participate in the VITA program and carry out this volunteer
commitment, there could be a small ($300-$400) tuition reduction
through a UMD program. However, the real motivating factor for your
participation in this program is not financial but rather, the
opportunity to help some people who need your help, while at the same
time learning a great deal about federal income tax and the workings
of a great nonprofit like the CEDC. For your information, the CEDC's
mission is as follows:
The Community Economic Development Center of Southeastern
Massachusetts seeks to create a more just local economy by building
bridges to resources, networks, and cooperative action for adults,
youth, aspiring entrepreneurs, working families, grassroots
organizations, and immigrant workers members of our community. The
work of the CEDC is created and directed by the people who will
benefit most from its success. CEDC challenges economic and political
institutions and policies that exclude full participation and access
to power by all members of our community.
The CEDC takes on many projects and the VITA program is one that they
have managed very well for some time now but they need our (CCB
students) help to carry on the good work of VITA. So if this is of
interest to you, please stay tuned as I will have an announcement
soon regarding an information session. You can also check in from
time-to-time with my internship blog
(http://www.businessinternships.blogspot.com/) as there will be
information posted there.
Thanks,

Staples Internships (Framingham) and Internship Ideas
CCB juniors and seniors:
I want to bring to your attention that Staples, the BIG office
supplies corporation, is recruiting interns for their Framingham
headquarters. Certainly, these internships are not for everyone as
Framingham is a long commute from the South coast of MA. However, if
you live within a 1/2 hour of Framingham, you might look into the
internship offerings - which are paid and could offer excellent
long-term opportunities and at least an excellent resume entry. They
have posted internships in a variety of areas including: finance, IT,
and public relations (part of marketing).
You must visit staples.com and go to their job section and do a
search on Internships (that's the key word).
BTW, I find out about many internships opportunities via a service
called Indeed.com - which you can use. Indeed.com allows you to do
keyword searches -0 such as internships in Massachusetts. Then you
can specify email alerts (sent to you almost daily) when an
internship lands on a web page meeting your search criteria.
Finding internships means looking in many places. Watch for my
emails, my blog, the UMD eRecruiting systems, but also be proactive
and search the net and other resources for good opportunities. We
have had some of the best internships crop up because of students
going the extra mile in their searches. Jessica an accounting major
a few years ago found an excellent internship with a Providence based
CPA firm by blasting out some resumes and cover letters. Joe landed
an HR internship with a large the home improvement chain by replying
to a lead from Indeed.com, Mary got to go to Disney World in Orlando
as part of a summer training session with PWC - as a result of a
campus visit by a PWC recruiter who was here to interview people for
full-time jobs, Justin worked at Merrill Lynch in Washington DC as a
result of meeting with a representative from the Washington Center
who visited campus. All of these internships were not so much
because of my actions or emails but because of the effort made by
motivated students looking for experiences that would ultimately
transform them into professionals. So again I emphasize, if you want
an internship, be proactive and leave no stone unturned.
Finally, as you see internship opportunities pass by in the emails,
on the blog, and in the postings of eRecruiting, you may want to file
them for future efforts. For example, maybe you aren't ready now but
want to do a summer internship. Send a resume to the company in late
spring. If you can't start one now but think the Spring might work,
keep in mind that you need to land one before school starts so I can
get you into the online course where you will earn the 3 credits for
a business elective.
Finally, if your Mom or Dad work for a company that could use an
intern, have them contact me. If you have an uncle that runs a
company or an aunt that's a CEO get them to set up an internship. If
you have a part-time job and think the company would be willing to
structure an internship, we have guidelines they must follow. Keep
your ears and eyes open and internship possibilities will crop up.
Good luck, and stay tuned.
