[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does she have any interest in volunteering? She could spend some time helping a good cause and add to her resume.[/quote] This is a good idea, in addition to the make-money job. I hire interns for every semester and never hire someone after their freshman year, maybe will after sophomore year if they had some really exceptional academic projects that relate to what we do. Most of our interns are in the summer after Jr. year. I'd advise my kids (now in HS) to spend the summers after... Freshman year - yes, look for things related to your major but the usual teen retail/food/camp type job is fine. Sophomore year - work harder to find a field-related job, might be a PT job at a smaller organization. Maybe helping with faculty research. Junior year- this is the one that matters. You have to have an internship in your field. Start planning for it early in Jr. year. My firm interviews for summer interns in January. [/quote]
