To participate in our Summer Internship Program you need to upload a copy of your Resume to the eRecruiting website of Career Services. Follow these steps to improve your chances of landing an internship:
1. Take your resume to Department of Career Services
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

2. Upload your resume to the UConn Husky Career Link website (see link on left margin of http://www.career.uconn.edu) by Dec 1. Make sure you publish your resume in the "MIS Undergraduate Interns" Resume Book (instructions). These resumes will be nicely bound and sent to interested companies wanting to hire summer interns.
3. 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) will schedule mock interviews. Keep your eyes open at announcements posted outside throughout the building.
5. Companies generally start the interviewing process sometime in January to March. You maybe contacted directly by some companies to schedule a campus or an on-site interview.
6. If you participate in the "MIS Undergraduate Interns" Resume Book, you are agreeing to register for OPIM 4891 (Summer 2008) if you obtain a position with any company through this process. For your internship, the six-hour course can be used to fulfill the Applications Area in your Plan of Study.
