Today I went to the Internship Seminar in Room 2-190 on the Vertical Campus. It was actually really helpful. Michael Kalish, who was the presenter, taught us about the different kinds of internships and how to get one. What I found especially helpful was when he spoke about how to make a resume and what to put and what not to put on a resume. He gave some points on what looks good and acceptable and professional. He pointed out to us what kind of words we should use to build our resume and that we should try for our resume to be only one page. He said that extra curriculars would be important on a resume now, especially if you don’t have a lot of working experience. He also went over how to interview with an employer, and what to say to help ourselves stand out in a good way. Michael also gave pointers on what not to say during interviews. For example, he said that when an interviewer asks for our greatest weakness, then we should actually say a weakness and how we’re working on it, rather than say a weakness that’s really a strength. He also gave a heads up on what employers might ask to knock us off our game by asking a question whose answer we probably didn’t rehearse. At the end of the seminar Michael shared some resources that we could use to help us with the resume and finding internships and finding information about companies. This seminar was really helpful to me. There was a lot of useful information and it provided a lot of clarity for me.
