For any employers that you collected business cards or information sheets on, reach out to them. You can easily impress a professional by simply thanking them for coming and letting them know it was a pleasure meeting them. Even if you’re not particularly interested in interning with them now, you’ll probably leave a lasting impression that could help out in the future.
For those employers you are interested in potentially working with, make sure you follow up with a phone call or email. Offer to send writing samples, references and resend your resume.
If or when you hear back from employers who are interested in interviewing you for a position, make sure you maintain a very professional attitude. Be sure to respond to all requests, even if you want to take another opportunity. You can simply thank them for the offer and tell them you’ve decided to pursue other opportunities.
Once you get the interview, make sure you dress professionally. You can reference Ryan Sheehy’s blog for complete tips on how to dress for professional environments. Prepare for the interview by researching the company and your potential position thoroughly. Also, prepare questions to ask the interviewer. Having thoughtful questions to ask the employer at the end of the interview. It will prove that you’re interested in working with them and leave a very positive impression.
