Career Development Internship Q and A

Q: What might I gain from an Internship?
A: Internships are temporary employment that allow you to try out a new field or career direction.  They allow you to gain, in a expedited time frame, the real-work experience that you need to be competitive.

Q:  Is there financial compensation?
A: Yes, the amount will vary.  We encourage Interns to request compensation equal to the stipend or salary that they are currently earning.

Q: How long are the Internships?
A: We suggest that an Internship last between 1 and 6 months.  Full or part-time schedules are agreed between the Intern and the Employer, however, to get the most out of your internship, we encourage full time work as opposed to a part time.

Q: Why full time?
A: Immersion is the best way to test out a new lifestyle.

Q: Where can I find an employer who wants an Intern?
A: Coming in early December, AIS will have a website where potential interns and employers can view one another's profiles and contact information.

Q: What if I have a company in mind and they don't have a profile on the site?
A: AIS encourages approaching any employer that you desire to work with.

Q: How do I write my resume for an Internship?
A: On November 14th, AIS is holding an Intern prep course with Tom Miller from Emerging Medical Technologies, Inc.  This workshop will help everyone prepare a winning resume.

Q: Will I be hired permanently after my Internship?
A: The possibility of further employment is between the Intern and the Employer.

Q: I'm a student. Can I take time off for an Internship?
A: We are smoothing the process of taking a leave of absence during the summer. Students who would like real-work experience should plan to take a few weeks this coming summer to do an Internship.
