[quote=Anonymous]Quality internships can be very competitive - but there are alternatives. Whatever you do, do not let you kid reach graduation without genuine work experience. "Fake" unstructured internships with no real responsibility or depth, squeezed in between vacations are easy to spot and employers will not be impressed. Strong internship alternatives include (hopefully more than a one of these) RA, coffee shop manager, team captain, club president or recruited athletes generally, TA or research assistant. Without a quality internship, a record of increasingly responsible positions are what employers are seeking to demonstrate time management and collaboration abilities. Leadership positions in Greek Life can also be good (fundraising, event management, chapter president etc). There is more than one path to landing a great job - but get your kid to work to build grit and ensure that your DC exudes confidence, likability and demonstrates motivation. [/quote]
