You may not have gotten many direct work connections through Contiki, but it did let you experience other cultures, meet other people from around the US, and share ideas with your peers about culture and travel in general. Plus it gave you some public speaking experience (which in this case seems relevant) and made you more open to trying new things? You can also talk about how internships are almost necessary in the US to get jobs and to go post-undergrad, which your audience may not be too familiar with.<BR/><BR/>Hope those help! I'll let you know if I think of anything else.KBrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07365367919603053684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33188498.post-39673207724772666342008-12-02T12:35:00.000-05:002008-12-02T12:35:00.000-05:00I'll try to sit and brainstorm tonight.

But I think maybe a good focal point could be that internships give you experience in actually doing the jobs you'd like to pursue over just studying them at college. <BR/><BR/>Example: <BR/>My internship at the Detroit Zoo (PR & Marketing) gave me the chance to write press releases and how to correctly contact other establishments.Cryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752779435392939989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33188498.post-26952293369319595202008-12-02T11:11:00.000-05:002008-12-02T11:11:00.000-05:00Maybe you could speak about connections.

You met plenty of people with connections. And, while the GLC was not an internship per se, it worked like one because you've landed a job in Cambodia. It's all about getting your name out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
