HOW HAS YOUR ALPHA KAPPA PSI EXPERIENCE HELPED YOU IN YOUR INTERNSHIP?
Alpha Kappa Psi played a huge role in developing my confidence when it came to networking and professional correspondence.
FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOUR INTERNSHIP?
One thing I loved about the internship was how I had several chances to work with other interns that were different majors than me. In addition to learning new technical skills, I learned how important it is to understand your audience when presenting something informative or persuasive.
WHAT ARE YOUR TAKEAWAYS FROM YOUR INTERNSHIP? WHAT HAS IT TAUGHT YOU?
To those seeking an internship or any academic/professional endeavor, be proactive and start applying several months early. Until you start interviewing, you are only what you are on paper. So, make sure your resume showcases your best and true self! Lastly, stay determined. The application and recruitment processes may seem daunting, but having a mindset to keep moving forward will ensure that you don't reflect too much on the challenges or rejections you may face along the way.
