Alyssa Peck: Careful planning, Engineering Career Services support helped land early internship
Being a freshman in engineering, I am required to take a learning community and that learning community required me to go to the career fair. I began with extensive research on the companies that came and a pro/con list for each one. This helped me narrow down which companies I would prioritize talking to. At the career fair I talked with about eight companies and confidently spoke about my previous experiences and goals for the future. Finally, I received phone calls to return the next day or later that week for an interview. I prepared rough answers to commonly asked questions so I felt prepared. Following the interviews, I received offers and from there, decided to intern with Miron Construction.
