Internships and the Real World

One of the exciting things that happens during the spring is the search for summer jobs.  Some people may keep the jobs they had last summer, and others (like myself) might be on the look for a new opportunity to work and gain experience.  That is where I am at right now, sending out resumes and cover letters in hopes that someone thinks I am the perfect fit. 
What's great about St. Mikes is that we have the Career Development office.  Career Development helps you find internships, works with you on your resume and cover letter, and helps you find an adult job when you graduate or even after.  They're an amazing resource and it's so helpful to go in and talk with them.
Last year, I was lucky enough to get an internship right on campus with our Marketing Department.  Along with my fellow blogger, Dom Wood, we worked on multiple projects and went on many field trips.  One of my favorites was our adventure video to areas outside of Burlington that you can go to.  It was a part of our First Year Fridays video series for incoming students to show them what campus was like and what to be prepared for when they got to campus.
I was also really happy that one of the photos I took over the summer was used for the St. Mikes instagram account!  How cool is that?

I absolutely loved being on campus, I got 10 meals a week and the rest of the time I was either cooking for myself or getting food at the farmers market every Saturday.  It's fairly quiet on campus since there are significantly less people, but I made a bunch of new friends and had a blast enjoying the warm summer in Burlington.
It's great that they have so many opportunities on campus and so many connections all across the US, so no matter where you are, you're bound to find something that works!
