On Friday, January 24th, the ECO hosted its annual Spring Internship Panel in the Newcomb Hall Commonwealth Room! First- and second-year students gathered to soak up wisdom from current third- and fourth-year Economics majors who shared their internship experiences, career aspirations, and recruiting tips.
The Spring Internship Panel aimed to demystify the internship search process while showcasing the work done at each panelist's internship site. Topics covered included insider tips on recruiting in various industries, how to shine on the job, and using internship experiences as a launchpad for full-time job searches. Students learned about the recruiting timelines, interview questions, casing prep, and more.
After the panel, students split into breakout rooms, where they had the chance to mingle with the panelists and ask questions in small groups. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect and learn from those who’ve been there!
