My new student intern student out from other applicants - want to know why?
Something from Lisa
I recently hired a new student intern....honestly, I wish I had time to hire more! Via, short for Olivia, stood out from the other applicants. Read this week's blog to learn how she stood out then share with your student to apply it to their own search for an internship or co-op.
With so many leaving the work force and many open positions nationwide, I just have to believe the time is ripe for student internships.

One of THE BEST podcasts on college admissions is by Georgia Tech. Regardless of whether you are interested in their school, it's a wealth of information on all things related to admissions.

It resonates with my Launch community considering college majors and careers. This week's guest offered the advice that "the best university is the one that makes you the best you that you can be."
THREE items related to college majors:
- 2:24 Ask what role does the major play in the admissions process
- 5:45 Questions to ask of yourself start with "what do I want to study" before wasting time on deep dives into schools that won't have your major
- 13:40 Suggested reading "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" include #1 Be Proactive and #2 Begin with the end in mind. In this case, career then back to college major - his advice which also has been mine for more than a decade
