Internship: Advice to Gain
Valuable Experience" will also
take place in March and is avail
able to all students. It will cover
tips and strategies to help
impress potential employers as
well as things to avoid that
could cause negative reactions.
Making a good impression
during an internship is impor
tant because many lead to full
time job positions. Watters
points out that "49.7 percent of
employers in a National
Association of Colleges and
Employers 2004 Survey said
they offer higher salaries to
grads with internship and co-op
experience."

of the workshops mentioned,
