The UCS Food and Environment Program seeks an intern for three months, beginning in June 2009. Working primarily with our outreach coordinator, the intern will assist in implementing the field efforts associated with our campaign to pass federal legislation on the overuse of antibiotics in animal feed.

The intern may also be called on to carry out other campaign tasks, as needed, such as recruiting organizations from around the country to support the legislation or to renew their support.

Candidates interested in public policy, sustainable agriculture, and environmental issues are encouraged to apply. We will consider applicants with a wide variety of backgrounds. Candidates with interest and education in political science, agriculture, environmental science, and public health, or with a background in political campaigns/organizing efforts are especially encouraged to apply.

Basic qualifications: Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, strong oral and written communication skills, and proficiency with computers.

Education requirements: Enrolled as an undergraduate or Bachelor’s or Master’s degree.

Hours and pay: 35 hours/week; monthly pay commensurate with experience and training.

Location: Union of Concerned Scientists, Washington, DC office.

To apply: Please send cover letter referencing where you learned of this opening, resume, and short writing sample by May 15 to jpalembas@ucsusa.org, and include “F&E Internship” in the subject line.

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!

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.
