Message from Professor Griffin - Give your career planning a boost - CCB Business Week

START NEXT WEEK TO LAUNCH YOUR CAREER PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BY ATTENDING CCB'S BUSINESS WEEK

In my role as Internship Director for the CCB, I am often involved in career related issues. I know that to be successful in your career path planning and in ultimately finding your dream job, you need to start earl. information gathering, meeting people (networking), polishing the cover letter and resume, securing an internship, great part-time job, or performing significant service learning or community service are all parts of the value chain of early career success. We want you to be able to launch your career the right way. Nothing bothers me more than to hear from alumni who don't have jobs or are very unsatisfied with their station oin life. You can maximize your odds of making this all work out for you if you start early and work often on the career development aspect of your time here at the CCB and UMD. So please think about being involved and attending at least some of the events coming up during Business Week. And please follow my internship blog and the CCB Facebook page. My blog is at: http://www.businessinternships.blogspot.com/


Subscribing to my internship blog is easy. If you want to receive email alerts of postings to this log, enter your email address below and click submit. Then each day you will receive a summary email of postings to the Blog. This is a great way to keep on top of internship openings that may be of interest to you so you can respond quickly with a resume. And even if you are only a soph. you should be looking at internship opportunities and can do one for credit as early as this summer. Juniors and seniors should be considering internships for the Spring 2013 semester and should see opportunities hitting my blog and the Internet (via Indeed.com and Simplyhired.com) soon.

I have another important college matter to discuss with you.... career planning. Here is an email from the student organizers of the upcoming Business Week, that I think all of you should read and consider seriously.

Still Time to Do an Internship

The semester is underway and if you have at least junior standing (60 credits earned), you may be able to earn 3 credits for a business elective by completing an internship. The toughest part is landing an acceptable internship. We have a few postings that have come in over the last week or so that I want to make sure everyone knows about. If you are interested in any of these opportunities, follow the link to the internship blog to read more and respond quickly with a resume and cover letter. If you do land an internship within the next week or two, I will be able to enroll you into the internship class (which is required to earn the credits). The internship class is 100% online and quite manageable. If you already have 6 classes, you will need permission of the CCB Associate Dean to add another class. Keep in mind that on this Monday, September 10, 2012 / Woodland Commons / 1pm-4pm, UMD holds its Work n Serve Job Fair. Some students get internship leads from attendance at that event.

Internship Goals

What are you goals regarding internships?  have you written them down? Consider the following:

The average Harvard MBA graduate starts his or first job at $115K with a $20K signing bonus. Nonetheless, some graduates of the Harvard MBA program end up being much more successful than
their fellow graduates in the long run.

In 1979, a survey of graduates from the Harvard Business School found that:

• 84% had no specific goals at all

• 13% had goals but the goals were not committed to paper

• 3% had clear, written goals and plans to accomplish them.

In 1989, the graduates were surveyed again. The results showed:

• The 13% of the class who had goals were earning, on average,

twice as much as the 84% who had no goals at all.

• The 3% who had clear, written goals were earning, on average,

ten times as much as the other 97% combined.

Write down your goals!

Internships are an investment in everyone’s future


By Nicholas Christ

Fall River Herald News

September 1, 2012

In our line of work, the term “investment” is seen and heard on a regular basis. Beyond the monetary reference, though, there is another form of investment which we view as a high priority as well — the investment in people.

One such investment opportunity is through internship programs.

The value of internships cannot be overstated. There is nothing quite so rewarding as giving people a chance, firsthand, to learn about work in a field where they have shown interest. The right internship opportunity takes over, often, where the classroom leaves off and gives students the chance to apply what they have learned in the “real world.” Equally important, it gives individuals the chance to “test drive” the field in which they are interested.

A case in point: Recently, after opening our newest branch in Westport, we had occasion to learn more about the Westport River Watershed Alliance (WRWA). This organization had been on our radar screen for a while and we were familiar with the good work they are doing to advocate for the environment. One of their needs was funding for two interns committed to the field of science and biology, and we were luckily able to come to their aid. These interns are gaining life experiences through their work that will assist in furthering their career choices.

Beyond the benefit to the student or intern, there are tangible benefits to the organization offering the internship. Companies can often learn as much from their interns as their interns learn from them. The students bring enthusiasm and energy to their work, eager to make good impressions and new connections. They may bring innovative ideas and different perspectives that could benefit the company.

In addition to the increased productivity that comes with the growing manpower, the company has an opportunity to train interns as potential employees before they are hired. The interns also have time to get used to the work, other employees and the environment as a whole. They acquire experience that helps ensure they are ready and qualified for future positions.

Over this summer alone, through our own internship program, BayCoast Bank has hosted a total of 23 interns. It was a new experience for 15 young men and women, while 8 others were returning to the bank for another summer. I think it is very important to give college students an opportunity to work in an office environment. The youth of our community need our help and willingness to supplement their learning experience and prepare them for the work force. It is our responsibility as business leaders to mentor the next generation and aid in their success.

Our bank has a limited number of internship positions available and with the local unemployment rate stubbornly still in the double digits I strongly urge other businesses to consider an investment in internships.

The bank begins accepting applications from potential interns in the months of December and January and all of our positions are usually filled by February or March. The students begin work following the completion of final exams in late spring.

As good corporate citizens we should provide the youth of our area with the chance to learn beyond what college or other schooling provides: a chance to see the work environment up close and personal. In my experience it has been a worthwhile investment from which everyone can benefit.
