Will I need to interview for an internship?

The employer will want to interview you before they make a final decision on whether to accept you as an intern within their organization. Internships are not guaranteed. You will also need a resume and, depending upon your major, a portfolio (if you need assistance with your resume or portfolio, visit an instructor at the Global Education Office). After carefully crafting your desired type of site, your instructor will begin the placement process. Your resume will be forwarded to one or more potential sites. Should any of the employers indicate an interest in interviewing you, the instructor will visit the site. After the site has been approved, you will call to set up a mutually agreeable time for an appointment (or interview) at the site. You should bring a copy of your resume and your portfolio (if applicable) to your appointment with the potential site supervisor.

“Immediately I realized the way I’ll approach design projects is going to have to be different from how I approach a project for class. I can’t just hop on Google and start brainstorming with images because this is the real world here and not a classroom. I’m noticing more than anything else, that while in school we play the role of both the developer and the designer, it seems that in the industry is very much not the case and that the roles are split between two parties.”
