11. What is the difference between an internship and a co-op?

Career Services works with employers to offer students temporary paid work experiences that relate to a student's major or career goals.

Internships :  Students or recent graduates undergo supervised work training in an environment that typically relates to their major or career goals.

Co-ops :  Students participate in work opportunities related to their field of study. Companies create student work plans, and Career Services monitors the students' progress—both the student and the employer complete evaluations. Students earn official acknowledgment on their university transcripts for participating in a co-op position.   Employers have communicated that neither experience outweighs the other. They have, though, expressed a high interest in hiring students who have had one of these experiences. Career Services highly suggests that students participate in an internship or co-op experience.

12. What are the Federal Work-Study start and end dates?

The rich variety within our student community is one of Wayne State University's greatest strengths. We are committed to ensuring that every student not only has access to opportunities but is also recognized as a standout candidate and a valued future employee. We believe that an organization thrives when opportunities are open to everyone, diverse perspectives are actively sought, and decision-making incorporates these perspectives. We help students build confidence in embracing and valuing their unique qualities, and we require employers to adhere to the National Association of Colleges and Employers' (NACE) Principles for Professional Practice , Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) guidelines , and Wayne State University's standards.

As an engineering student, one of the most important things you will do is find an internship and/or a job. Most employers are seeking candidates that have some sort of experience, even for entry-level positions. The most straight-forward way to gain experience is through internship or co-op, but could also include hands-on activities in school. With such a strong emphasis on hands-on learning experiences, it is important to know how to find the best opportunities. The Engineering Career Resource Center can help you discover what resources are available to help you find an internship or a job.

Writing Your Resume and Cover Letter

Resume samples found below

The purpose of the resume is to provide employers with information about your abilities and experiences so they can assess your potential for a successful job match. The resume is your marketing tool designed to catch the interest of an employer. First impressions are critical since as little as 15 seconds may be devoted to scanning each resumé. The focus of the resumé must be on the needs of the employer, not on the needs and desires of the job seeker. “Resumé” means “summary,” not “autobiography.” Space is critical; carefully evaluate each item and its relationship to the career objective.

Resume Styles and Formatting

CHRONOLOGICAL: Lists experiences in reverse chronological order (listing most recent jobs first) and emphasizes a continuous career path of increasing responsibility. Most commonly used by individuals who are staying in the same or similar field, have training and/or experience consistent with the career objective, have relevant job titles, or are applying for a job in a highly traditional field. This style is most effective for the majority of new college graduates.

FUNCTIONAL: Organizes experiences gathered from a variety of jobs and experiences, according to specific functions or skills. It is most helpful for people who are changing careers, re-entering the job market, applying for positions for which their training and/or experience does not directly qualify them, or whose background does not emphasize their abilities for the job.

COMBINATION: Merges elements of the first two styles and typically includes an overview of qualifications for a particular position then reverts to the reverse chronological style for the remainder of the document.

Resume Formatting

A resume typically gets only 15 seconds of attention the first time through, so make it as easy as possible for the reader to find the important information.

• Avoid using word processing "wizards" or "templates" that reduce your control over the format of your resume.
• Use margins of at least 3/4 inches all around.
• Use bulleted statements to describe experiences rather than paragraphs.
• Begin bulleted statements of activities with varied action verbs in a consistent verb tense.
• Incorporate but do not overdo bold, underline, and italics to highlight and separate sections of your resume.
• Print your resume on high-quality 20-24 lb. resume paper, available at our college bookstore and office supply stores.
• Solicit input about both content and style from career services professionals, faculty, former employers, and professionals in your field.

Choose categories that best highlight your skills and experience. Some common categories for students and recent alumni include:

• Related Coursework
• Skills (Computer, Language, etc.)
• College/Community Activities or Involvement
• Volunteer Work
• Honors & Awards or Achievements

Objective Statements

A good objective statement should be concise and to the point.   Refer to the desired position and company or industry.   If you are pursuing more than one type of position within more than one company or industry, consider developing multiple resumes.

Sample Objectives:

• To obtain a Graphic Artist positon at XYZ Advertising Agency
• To obtain an Elementary Education Teaching position with Lincoln Public Schools

Cover Letters

A cover letter (sometimes called a letter of application, intent, interest or inquiry) should accompany your resume communicating your personal experiences and qualities related to the job or graduate program in which you are applying. A cover letter should be composed and typed specifically for each job or school that you apply to, including internships. It should complement, but not repeat the information contained in your resume. Effective cover letters convey a sense of purpose, project enthusiasm for the position or program, and demonstrate your knowledge of the employer or graduate program's requirements and needs.

Thank You Letter

Writing a thank you letter after a job interview is a must! In fact, some employers think less of those interviewees who fail to follow-up promptly. Plan to send out your thank you letters as soon as possible (preferably within 24 hours) after your interviews. If time is of the essence, it's appropriate to send an email thank you letter.  However, be sure your email is professional and well written.
