Follow these steps to improve your chances of landing an internship:
1. Take your resume to UConn Department
of Career Services (http://www.career.uconn.edu) to receive feedback on how to improve it. Make sure your resume
contains the relevant courses and list of skills (see list of courses and their related skills).
Career Resource Assistants are availble to critique
your resumes Monday-Friday from 9:30-4:30 at:
Department of Career Services
368 Fairfield Road, Unit 2051
CUE 217
Storrs, CT 06269-2051
(860) 486-3013
2. Upload your resume to the UConn Husky Career
Link website (see link on left margin of http://www.career.uconn.edu). Make sure you publish
your resume in the "MIS Undergraduate Interns" Resume Book (instructions).
Another resource for uploading your resume is the School of Business Career Services, located here:
http://www.business.uconn.edu/cms/p842
Upload your resume by clicking on the link: "Business Career Connections - Student Login". The Resume Upload URL is:

3. From time to time, we will ask for students’ resumes, which we combine and send to recruiters. We will send out emails to your UConn email address on the exact dates when resumes are due, or if there are special announcements.
4. During January and February the department (in conjunction with the IMA) may schedule mock interviews. Keep your eyes open at announcements posted outside throughout the building.
5. Companies conduct interviews all through the year. Some companies recruit in the fall, while others might recruit during the spring semester. You may be contacted directly by some companies to schedule a campus or an on-site interview.
6. If you find an internship through the efforts of the MIS Department
(including Career Socials and Fairs, and participation in the "MIS Undergraduate Interns" Resume Book), you
are agreeing to register for OPIM 4891 (Summer 2012). For your
internship, the six-hour course can be used to fulfill the Applications Area in
your Plan of Study.
