The Internship Search

So I finally have a draft of my resume that I'm happy with. It really brings my career to life. What a dramatic difference, writing in terms of accomplishments as opposed to responsibilities. I get excited reading my resume now. Hopefully, recruiters will, too.

I'm getting a little stressed out about the whole internship search. I don't want to work at any of the companies that traditionally come on business school campuses to recruit MBAs. This means I have a lot of work to do on my own. While I anticipated this from the very beginning, it doesn't make it any less daunting.

I have to spend a day going through old emails, digging up the names of recruiters I've met over the course of my career. I also have to get my resume to friends who work in companies that I'm interested in. And I've got to put together a decent cover letter.

I have a mock interview scheduled for this week. I also have an assignment due in every class. And finals are in two weeks. You know, the internship search would be a lot easier if school didn't keep getting in the way. :-)
