My friends and I attended an internship convention on Thursday, October 5^th. The goal of this convention was to inform students about different opportunities available to them, how to go about attaining them, and to be knowledgeable enough to not be taken advantage of.  For example, the instructor made it clear to us that the company can be sued for making an intern do any jobs to related to the field they are studying, like buying coffee or dropping off dry-cleaning. The instructor was very accommodating and didn’t follow a strict schedule, and he allowed questions throughout the program. A lot of the kids that attended this seminar were Freshman’s although there was a mixed crowd, I believe this was a good thing because it informed us about something we will have to face in the future and helped us prepare for it. I am sure that every student that attended left with a piece of information that will make a big difference for them. For example, knowing where to look for internships, bringing awareness to how you should be treated, how to apply for internships, recognizing which ones will look better on your resume, and how to even create a resume. I believe finding the best internship for your career and that will look good on my resume was the most important point for me. Knowing that our school hosts meeting like this is also helpful because a lot of students are lost and confused on how to go about doing a lot of the things necessary for their future advancement including myself. For that reason I found this meeting to be very informative and  I would encourage others to attend future meetings.
