    Major: Criminal Justice
    Internship: Sayra and Neil Meyerhoff Center for Families, Children, and the Courts
    Story: A career coach introduced me to UBworks where I learned to polish my resume, build a UBworks profile to attract potential employers, and book coaching appointments for future jobs/internship interviews. The good user interface on UBworks helped me easily connect with employers. One of the employers were Sayra and Neil Meyerhoff Center for Families, Children, and the Court program, who were hiring criminal justice and law students for Fall internship. To successfully apply for this internship, I booked an appointment with my career coach where I polished my resume, profile and prepared for the interview. Within a few weeks, I was hired to work as an intern at this program.

    Major: Digital Communications
    Internship: Open Ideas Digital Marketing Company
    Story: A year ago I applied for an international internship opportunity with a company called The Intern Group. After many interviews with The Intern Group Admissions Coordinator Miriam Wolf a fellow Baltimorean, and a follow-up interview with a director of a digital marketing company Open Ideas Leonard Pera in Spain, I was hired on the spot. I served as the Marketing Associate for Open Ideas Digital Marketing Company in Madrid Spain for six weeks. This gives me the opportunity for a hands-on experience in my field, also experience with working in a new environment. The University of Baltimore Career and Internship Center has provided me with the skills and resources I needed to make this happen. The Career coaches and literature that this office has to offer help not only on the campus grounds but in the real world.

    Major: Applied Psychology, Industrial and Organizational Psychology
    Company: Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)
    Story: I discovered an internship opportunity with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) by checking the Announcements section on UBWorks. After meeting with my career coach to discuss improving my resume, I sent my application in and soon heard back to schedule an interview. Thanks to the Career Center and my I/O Psych program, I was well equipped to discuss my skills and applicable knowledge during my interview and I was later offered a paid summer internship in Alexandria, VA. This experience allowed me to apply the skills I learned in the classroom at a real-world job environment while continuing to develop as a working professional.

    Company: Center for Environmental Farming System
    What did you enjoy about your internship? The people. Farming and agriculture brings a wide variety of humans together and everyone has an interesting backstory and something to teach. We were instructed by Professors with PhD’s ... right alongside former Peace Corps members, high school graduates with decades of experience in their respective fields, foreign farmers and way more people than I can list.

    What was challenging about your internship? Keeping pace and learning the system was a challenge at the beginning but I got better after making a lot of my mistakes.
