Starting your internship search

Define your goals

Why are you doing an internship and what is important to you about the outcome? Do you want to work in a big city? Small company? One of many interns or the first one ever? Considering not just the industry you want to work in but the type of experience you are looking for is important in helping you weed through so many opportunities. And chances are, the more you know about both what you want to do, and how you want to do it, the better prepared you'll be when a company asks you that question in an interview!

Hold Harmless Agreements

In some instances, employers may insist that an offer for an internship is contingent upon the completion of a Hold Harmless Agreement between you and the University. It is the University’s policy not to sign these agreements. If an employer does ask you to sign a Hold Harmless Agreement and you would like to evaluate your next steps for a discussion with the employer, please contact Geni Harclerode (gmichaud@umich.edu), Assistant Director, Experiential Learning and Employer Development, at The Career Center 734-764-7460.
