"One thing that helped me get my internship was having my resume critiqued, both in class and in a walk-in appointment to the CDC. The first screening of applicants for the Boeing internship is based solely on resumes, so it's really important to have a professional resume that stands out among the masses."

-Junior Business Administration Intern, Boeing

"I got my internship through an informational interview required for my class. They weren't even looking for an intern but because of my networking ability the President contacted me and hired me on the spot."
