INTERNSHIP TOOLS
RESUME A resume is a summary of personal, educational, and professional qualifications and experience. It is an essential tool for all students and job seekers, regardless of career goals.
PURPOSE Employers use resumes to screen applicants. From there, they determine the applicants they will interview. Applicants should tailor their resumes to the needs of the organization. Resumes are also used to develop interview questions, to judge applicant’s communication skills, and remind employers of the qualifications of the candidate. A good tip to remember when making resumes is to address the concerns of the employer on one’s ability to do the job. In lieu of relevant experience, activities such as academic background, summer jobs, internships, extracurricular activities, and volunteer work. These activities tell the employer of the applicant’s attitude, abilities and qualities including self-motivation, high energy level, ability to communicate effectively, ability to multi-task, and skill in dealing with stress. After identifying which activities to include in the resume, applicant must indicate his/her accomplishments. These include the skills developed and level of involvement in the activity. Applicant should give priority to information that is most significant and relevant to the job. Lastly, applicant must introduce accomplishment-oriented statements with action verbs. Through this, employer will see that applicant is active and results-driven, which may fit the needs of the employer.
RESUME PARTS There is no prescribed format for resumes but most resumes contain standard elements. Some fields may be de-emphasized or omitted if not important or relevant to the career. Section titles may be changed to introduce provided information accurately. Heading The heading should include basic information: name, permanent and local address, e-mail address, and contact numbers. Objective The objective portion can indicate immediate employment goal. Though not essential, it should communicate what skills the applicant wants to use or function the applicant wants to perform. Applicant may also summarize his/her qualifications for the career of interest. Education When indicating education, applicant can include institutions attended locally or abroad, degrees and dates received, major and concentration, and honors thesis title. Applicant may opt to include GPA, dean’s list, honor societies, and academic awards such as merit scholarships. Course Relevant courses pertain to the courses that are significant and relevant to meet needs of the employer. This is indicated especially if major is not directly related to the job.
RESUME PARTS Experience Experience includes part-time work, full-time work, summer jobs, co-op experience,internships, volunteer experience, and extracurricular activities. Skills Computer literacy, foreign languages, research and analytical skills, and management skills are mentioned in the skills portion. Activities and Interests Activities and interests comprise of a list of memberships in student organizations, committees and other involvements. Following that, candidate may list other hobbies and interests but avoid those expressing religious and political views. References The references section is optional. Applicant can indicate “available upon request.�
INTERVIEW The interview is the stage wherein employers make the decision on whether to accept the candidate in the organization. Interviewers use different styles and approaches to assess the candidate’s qualifications and match them with the organization’s needs. These may be formal or relaxed. INTERVIEW ST YLES Face to Face Inter view This is when the potential employer (representative) meets with the candidate and the interview takes place in any appropriate facility. Phone Inter view The interview is done over the phone. It is wise for the candidate to practice before the interview in order to pick up on points they need to improve on. Candidates must make sure that the landline number given to the potential employer is reliable for good connection during the interview. Panel Inter view This is when a group of employer representatives from different departments meet with the candidate. Group Inter view This interview is when candidates are grouped together and employers observe the behavior and interpersonal skills of each candidate. Vir tual Inter view This is the preferred format when both parties are located in different cities of the country or both parties are located in different countries. Most popular virtual interview is the skype conferencing.
INTERVIEW INTERVIEW APPROACHES In order to be more prepared for a job interview, it is helpful to know what kind of interview you will undertake. There are different kinds of interview approaches because employers want to test the candidates’ skills, personal qualities and whether he/she is fit for the job. Traditional Inter views The employer asks certain questions related to the job and the candidate’s qualifications. The interviewee must be prepared to answer questions on what he/she would do in certain hypothetical situations that also mimic real-life scenarios. For this type of interview, employer generally asks similar open-ended questions to all candidates. This is done in order to better compare and distinguishes one from the other. Behavioral Inter views This tells an employer that past actions and performance of a candidate indicates behavior for the future. The interviewer asks the candidates to cite reactions to actual situations. For successful behavioral interviewing, the interviewee may use the “STAR” framework to guide his/her response. Situation – cites an example Task – what was your role Actions – what you did in that situation Results – what was the outcome of your efforts Case Inter views For management and analytic positions, employers may use this style wherein questions are usually about hypothetical situations and can be vague. This is to test analytical and problem-solving skills in assessing issues and developing solutions. Stress Inter views This style is used for candidates of fast-paced positions. Some common procedues in this approach include interruptions, quick subject changes and uncomfortable physical settings. The candidate must make quick decisions under pressure and the employer evaluates composure, confidence level and response to the cited situations.

Do no make a statement on the minimum salary you need to meet the daily demands of life. This may give out the impression that you are too blatant and rude.

Keep the discussion friendly and positive. Prompting a positive atmosphere may improve the negotiation greatly. Also, remember to approach the discussion tactfully and reasonably. Always remember to have everything you and the employer settled on in paper. Otherwise, they can retract anything they said.
