Financial Representative Internship with Northwestern Mutual

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.

Earned the highest customer satisfaction score among U.S. life insurers in the University of Michigan’s American Customer Satisfaction Index survey in 2005.

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.

White House Internship Programs seeks Applicants

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.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE ASSISTANCE WITH YOUR RESUME AND APPLICATION, touch base with Christine Routzahn, Director of Internships at The Shriver Center at UMBC routzahn@umbc.edu

Last Two Weeks to Obtain Intern Credit and/or Get Your Internship, Research, or Co-op Added to your Transcript for Spring 2009

Have you found the internship or research position of your dreams on your own, but just don't know how to get credit for it this spring semester? Do you want a notation on your transcript for all your hard work, but are unsure how to proceed?

Well look no further! The staff at the UMBC Shriver Center is here to help!

That internship you found is important to obtain admission to graduate school and to find employment after graduation. You gain experience, can get paid, and could potentially obtain three upper level credits, all by interning only 8 to 10 hours per week.

Best of all, if you found an internship, co-op, or research position on your own for the spring, you can get the notation on your transcript (FREE OF CHARGE) - and be on your way to possibly receiving credit- its not too late. That's right, the deadline to add the intern notation or obtain credit for the spring semester is in two weeks.

IN ORDER TO GET YOUR INTERNSHIP/CO-OP/RESEARCH POSITION TO BE ADDED TO YOUR TRANSCRIPT:

1. Either call (410-455-2493) or stop by the Shriver Center on the ground floor of the Public Policy Building to make an appointment with a Coordinator.
2. Get a letter/memo from your employer (on company letterhead) verifying that you are interning 8-10 hours per week and bring it to your appointment.
3. Meet with your Coordinator to get enrolled in the Practicum (to have the notation put on your transcript as a university sanctioned experience) and have your potential credit options explained to you.
4. Enjoy your internship, co-op, or research position!

If you do not already have an internship lined up but are interested in obtaining one, we’ll be glad to help you with that as well. To begin the process of finding an internship through the Shriver Center and UMBCworks, visit http://www.shrivercenter.org/documents/Shriver%20Center%20Four%20Step%20Process.pdf That link will detail exactly what you need to do.

The Shriver Center is OPEN from 8:30 am to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, so stop in or make your appointment soon!

A Thanksgiving Message from the Shriver Center

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

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.
