Working in the government has always been something that I've wanted to do, whether it's the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency, Homeland Security, or the U.S. Department of State. Something else that I want in a career is the ability to travel, it doesn't matter where, I just want to travel and learn new cultures. With being a Foreign Service Officer (FSO) I get both, working in the government and traveling.

This is the topic that we talked about the longest. There are 2 internships within the U.S. Department of State a 10-week internship that is unpaid and a 20-week internship that is paid at a GS-4 level. The 10-week internship is the most known out of the two. The 10-week internship can be done in Washington, D.C. or overseas at an embassy. It's the less formal out of the two, the intern learns more in the 20-week internship. The 20-week internship is broken up into 2 10-week internships. The first 10 weeks are done between sophomore and junior year of college and the second 10 weeks are done between junior and senior year of college. The first 10-weeks are done in Washington, D.C., it involves the same concept of a normal 10-week internship. The second 10 weeks are done overseas, the intern decide where, and that is when the intern learns actual skills and training. With the 20-week internship they, the U.S. Department of State, pays for everything. The biggest difference in the 2 internships is that for the 20-week internship, the intern is required to submit their FAFSA; they want to give the internship to someone who is very interested to do the internship but can't afford it. Also with the 20-week internship, after the intern have completed the internship, they are asked to take the test to become an FSO. Mr. Jaworski says that it's important to do an internship if a career as a FSO is really something …show more content…

Most applicants don’t get the job the first time they apply; it normally takes up to three tries to get the job. Something that was very interesting is that the applicant doesn’t need to have a B.A. or B.S. to apply. Jaworski says, “you can apply with a kindergarten degree” (Jaworski). That was shocking because one would think that to be a FSO or Diplomat one at least need a B.A. or
The first step to get a job is deciding on the kind of job you want. You need to look at the type of job, the location, the hours and the pay. The second step is to ask yourself “What do you have to offer an employer?” “What kind of skills do you have?” Then you develop a resume and talk to your family members and ask them if they have any contacts at your ideal job’s company. Next you have to read the newspaper or go on the internet. After you see a job you are interested in, apply for the jobs. Make sure you are familiar with job applications and have all the information you need. The last step is interviewing for the jobs. Develop answers to interview questions, think of a few questions you could ask, and dress conservatively.
I’ve wanted to study abroad since I was in middle school, and accordingly I’ve completed five years of Spanish to put myself in the best possible place to do so. But without the assistance offered by the program for these kinds of experiences, it’s unlikely that it would be financially reasonable for me to study abroad. Additionally, as a student studying a STEM field where careers are based on research, the opportunity to do research projects with faculty was a major draw for me. While research experience is available to all students, being part of the Norlin Scholars program would give me unparalleled access to mentoring and resources to explore ideas and equip myself with the skills I’ll need as a full-fledged biomedical
My internship began with a short orientation of KPMG’s office located in the Wells Fargo Building of downtown Minneapolis. After some introductions and a few training sessions that outlined what was expected of us in terms of the rules and laws we were required to follow including disclosure of client and firm information and independence affidavits, for example, we were briefed on our trip to Orlando for National Internship Training which would take place the following work day. Training for Partnership-focused federal tax interns would last a whole week filled with events and educational seminars that would introduce us to tax fundamentals and software tutorials that would be helpful during our time with KPMG. National Internship Training would be the primary training session for every KPMG intern in the nation, hosting thousands of interns assigned to all pillars of accounting (audit, tax, and advisory). During meals and events the interns had opportunities to meet interns from around the country helping to expand our professional and social networks, which I found to be one ...

While I was in high school I did an internship with the District Attorney’s office in Topeka, KS. Although it did not directly relate to my chosen field of study I did learn a lot about our justice system and how probation officers interact with the DA and the court system. I feel internships are a great way to gain experience before you are actually being thrown into a job with all of its responsibilities. So, I plan to try and set-up an internship with a juvenile probation officer to help me gain some hands on experience. In addition to an internship, I also feel I can build my network through community service, teachers, peers and my sorority
