1. Update your resume and include an objective to match your position of interest (e.g., “Secure a part-time position as a Guest Service Representative in a company that offers long-term growth opportunity.”) Bring your resume to Career Services, where staff will serve as a resource, reviewing your resume and providing feedback.
   • Create a cover letter that includes the following information:
   • Introduction
   • How you received their information
   • Statement that you are seeking an internship for course credit
   • Your short-term and long-term professional goals
   • Preferred work areas or positions
   • How many hours a week you would like to work
   • Additional information not found on your resume, such as background details that make you suitable to the company or reasons for your interest in the company.
