RECOMMENDED INTERN HOSTS 2010 Steps in setting up your internship: 1. First, remember that internship course credit is reserved for senior Mass Communications majors only. If you wish to do an internship before you’re a senior, you’ll receive no credit, but it’s still a great thing to do for the experience. 2. Consult the flyers that promote newer internships (found on the Internship bulletin board) along with this list of internships that previous interns have recommended to research and narrow down your prospects. Then go to see your Mass Comm. Dept. advisor to get his/her advice about whether the prospects you’ve selected are right for you. Get your advisor’s help in ranking your prospects. Don’t skip this step! You’ll be surprised how helpful your advisor will be to narrow down your short list to the best for you. 3. Read internship FAQs found on our website, <www.siue.edu/MASSCOMM/internship.html> Pick up or download a copy of the latest MC 481 syllabus from this site so you know what’s required. Check out resume and cover letter writing handout, etc., also found at our Internship website. Then you’ll understand what’s required. And in case it comes up in your internship job interview, you will know and can share the information on the syllabus. 4. Contact your number one and two choices. Do NOT send out a dozen query letters or call several internship venues. If there’s one kind of prospective intern they all hate, it’s the internship “shopper.” They don’t want to waste their time interviewing and considering hiring people who are not serious. 5. Follow up with your first choice until you get an answer. If their answer is “yes,” fill out the intern information form and see Dr. D. for the Banner work necessary for you to enroll in MC 481. Dr. D. will then write your internship supervisor his usual letter of confirmation. If the answer from your first choice is “no,” contact your second choice, and so on. There are also two forms to fill out before you’ll be cleared to enroll. 6. Tip: START EARLY! The best internships – especially the few paid ones -- are taken quickly. Start working on a Spring internship as early as September, a Summer internship in January, and a Fall internship in late Spring/early Summer. Hint: There’s more competition for Summer internships than Fall or Spring, and Fall internships have the least applicant competition. A few popular internship venues, like the one at Technisonic Studios for TV production, choose their interns as much as nine months ahead!
