The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another.”

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.

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.

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!

For those of you who do not have a UMBCworks account, visit us on the web at http://www.shrivercenter.org/student_howdoigetstarted.html
and call our front desk at 410-455-2493 to make an appointment to get your resume reviewed. The Shriver Center is located on the 1st Floor of the Public Policy Building.

Shriver Center has MANY PAID INTERNSHIPS available for ALL majors this upcoming FALL

The UMBC Shriver Center has MANY PAID INTERNSHIPS available for ALL majors this upcoming FALL and we still need students to fill them.

Internships are important to obtain admission to graduate school and to find a position after graduation. You gain experience and can also earn 3 credits by interning 8 to 10 hours per week.

Once you meet with a coordinator, we will send your resume to organizations that interest you. In other words, we'll do the mailing and employer outreach on your behalf.

IN ORDER TO GET STARTED, PLEASE:
1) Make an appointment to meet with a coordinator to get your resume reviewed if you have not done so already. Stop by the Shriver Center office (1st floor UMBC Public Policy Building) or call 410-455-2493 to schedule the appointment. The appointment will take no longer than half an hour. Instructions on where to upload your resume can be found at:
http://shrivercenter.umbc.edu/student_howdoigetstarted.html

During our meeting, we will review your resume, go over your credit options, and show you how to apply to positions.

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE AN INTERNSHIP/CO-OP or RESEARCH position and just want credit or an internship/co-op/research notation on your transcript, please call our office to make an appointment to see a coordinator. We will simply need a letter/memo from your employer verifying that you are working at least 8 to 10 hours per week. If you found your position using UMBCworks, you will not need to provide this information.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail me. We look forward to working with you to locate a great internship, co-op, or research position.

Welcome back to UMBC!
