College of Public Health: May 2012
Spring 2012 Health and Wellness Counseling Intern at Gainesville State College
I just can't thank my Career Consultant, Christie Sanders, enough for her time and advice. She assisted me with my resume construction and a mock interview. Both prepared me for an upcoming interview I had for a college health and wellness internship.
On the big day, I sat down with 2 supervisors in an office. They asked many of the same questions Christie did during our mock interview. It was so relieving to already have an answer ready. They said I was the perfect fit and even asked if I could begin working with them this fall instead of spring! My new supervisor said the whole point of the interview was basically to get to know my personality. She said verbatim "Well, Sarah, you have a dazzling personality and your resume is nonparallel... I'm actually hoping we can convince you to work for us instead of the other way around!" They said that my skills would be tremendously beneficial and they wanted me to get started right away if I was available. This fall, I have decided to take classes, but they were excited to set up a meeting with me a few months from now to prioritize some projects and clients I'll be working with in the spring. I have such a good feeling about this internship.
