Interns with the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network have the same opportunities to build their careers as full-time representatives. Supported by our network of specialists, training programs and mentoring opportunities, interns have access to the resources, products and assistance they need to help their clients and build their practices.

Like financial representatives, interns strive to understand their clients' goals and visions in order to uncover financial solutions that put them on a path to success. Network Representative interns are in business for themselves – but they're not alone.

The Northwestern Mutual internship program has been named “one of America’s Top Ten Internship for twelve consecutive years” by Vault Guide to Internships.

Northwestern Mutual was named one of “the 50 Best Companies to Sell For” in 2006 by Selling Power Magazine (November/December 2006).

Received the highest available ratings for financial strength from the four major rating agencies in 2005: Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, Fitch Ratings and A.M. Best.

Named “America’s Most Admired” company in its category for 24 years, according to a 2007 FORTUNE® Magazine survey.

Named “Most Admired” company in its category in the word, according to a 2006 FORTUNE® Magazine survey.

Your local office provides tools, resources and training to help you discover and build your markets to develop a successful practice as a Network Representative intern. At Northwestern Mutual we believe training is a process, not an event. Can you envision a life of real world compensation, freedom and calling your own shots? Many college students cannot. The Northwestern Mutual internship is a valuable opportunity for students to combine classroom learning with a real-life look into what they could truly make of themselves.

Preferred qualifications: To be considered for the position, you must be a full-time student at a four year institution and have completed at least 2 years of college coursework. You must have strong interpersonal skills, be self-motivated and have a history of personal success.

THIS INTERNSHIP IS POSTED ON UMBCworks under Internships via Shriver Center. Questions, contact Christine Routzahn at The Shriver Center.

The mission of the Department of Commerce (DOC) Office of the Secretary Fall Internship Program is to engage and empower developing leaders with a passion for public service. The program will expose students to opportunities in the Federal Government and the potential to find passion in a career in public service.

Interns will gain unique experience though their placement in one of several DOC offices.
The students will work closely with the Special/Confidential Assistants in their respective offices. This will keep them engaged in the political process, maintain strong lines of communication and clearly define roles and responsibilities. On a biweekly/
monthly basis, the Internship Board will coordinate visits to local exhibits including the National Archives, lectures, arrange photo/meet‐and‐greet with Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, White House Tours, etc.

Applications for the 2010 Spring White House Internship are now available at whitehouse.gov/about/internships.

Applications are due September 20, 2009. The application includes two essays, three letters of recommendation and a resume. Each applicant will be evaluated on three basic qualities: a commitment to public service, demonstration of leadership in the community and dedication to the mission of this Administration. The applicant's communication, writing and office skills will also be reviewed and considered. An applicant's GPA is not figured into the final score, and each application is reviewed on a semi-blind basis.

PROGRAM
This select group of young men and women from across the country dedicate their time, talents, energy, and service to better the White House, the community, and the nation. These committed citizens become a part of the White House team. The assignments given to an intern on any given day could include conducting research, managing incoming inquiries, attending meetings, and writing memos.

While the interns’ individual responsibilities and tasks vary, they are united through weekly events and, most importantly, through service. Interns participate in a long-term service project to help the surrounding community. This is a great opportunity to promote leadership and a way to learn about their fellow intern class. Each week, interns come together for a speaker series with senior staff members and participate in off-site field trips around D.C. In addition, during the summer a few interns are chosen as mentors for the D.C. Scholars.

Wolf Trap's Internship Program provides project-based training and experience to approximately 40 interns annually. Interns become integral members of the staff working side-by-side with professionals producing, promoting, and administering all aspects of the performing arts.

Lots more details after the break!

Christos J. Palios, Baltimore-based panorama artist, will shoot a photographic period piece as a scene from daily life in the 1930s through the 1940s. While working closely with a local museum, along with 15-20 models and actors, he plans to bring this project to fruition this upcoming May or June. He is seeking one enthusiastic, diligent candidate to assist on a number of levels, from initial preparations and research through to the final shoot date. At this time, this is an unpaid opportunity with potential reward and compensation upon project completion.

Position Overview: ideal candidate must exhibit congeniality and enthusiasm, genuine dedication and synergy when working with artist, museum officials, and most importantly, models and actors. Photographic experience is not mandatory; a creative and resourceful mind is essential! Organization is a must. Considering this is a period piece from a specific era in history, candidate should have knowledge and experience, if not at minimum a great willingness to research authentic clothing worn, cultural etiquette, environmental scene accuracy, prop acquisition, and other details from that time in order ensure an accurate set. Emphasis is on history and fashion/apparel. Candidate should expect approximately 3-5 hours each week for phone and in-person meetings/brainstorming sessions, research, and eventual interviews and vintage apparel shopping with models and actors.

Christos intends this to be fun, collaborative, and artistically-stimulating. Final artwork will be added to his edition-limited portfolio and advertised via various venues, including his website. Please send resume links or attached files in PDF or DOC formats. Only serious inquiries, please. Thank you!

Are you dreading that Thanksgiving conversation?

You know, the one that goes something like:

Family-member: So, what are you going to do next summer?

You: I don't know, probably the same thing I did last year.

Family Member: Well, with all the news about the economy, I don't think it's smart to put all your eggs in one basket. And you know you can't mooch off of us another year.

You: Stop bugging me! I just don't know where to begin!

And an awkward silence fills the room, ruining your delicious pumpkin pie.

Wouldn't you rather be able to say...

You: Well, I met with my Shriver Center coordinator and they helped me get my resume in good shape. They also showed me how to use UMBCworks to apply to positions. I have two offers already from Fortune 500 companies and I'm interviewing with 3 other organizations over winter break. While I haven't made up my mind yet, I have a lot of good choices. The economy may be down, but there is still a strong market for interns and I know I'm going to have a good experience that may even set me up for a fulltime job after graduation.

Call 410-455-2493 to make an appointment with the Shriver Center TODAY to start your path to a successful spring or summer internship and avoid Thanksgiving awkwardness.

Three myths about Internships, Research, and Co-ops brought to you by your Shriver Center Coordinators at UMBC

Myth: The downturn in the economy means that no internships are available.

FACT: Interns are still in demand and will be where many organizations look to fulfill their fulltime recruiting needs. More and more companies report that they are using their interns as an effective way to fill their hiring needs. By participating in an internship you can get the inside track on the best opportunities. The Shriver Center has connections with hundreds of organizations where you can get your foot in the door (most paid). By getting your resume approved in UMBCworks, you will have access to them as well!

Myth: Most students don't have enough experience to make a compelling resume and get the best positions.

FACT: You're probably more competitive than you think - and the Shriver Center can help you develop a resume and interview skills that will make you stand out. The Shriver Center has a range of services just for UMBC students to help you standout from your peers and get the positions you seek. We specialize in working with students to transform your credentials from ordinary to extraordinary!

Myth: If you're going to graduate school, you don't need to do internships or research.

FACT: What will make your applications stand out is the ways that you have applied what you have learned inside the classroom in a practical setting. The Shriver Center isn't just for students preparing for the corporate world - UMBCworks has many opportunities for students interested in research and academia. Taking advantage of these opportunities now will help you be more prepared and qualified for graduate studies.

To take advantages of all of these opportunities and more, log onto UMBCworks and start applying today!
