#1 Which of the following internships is your top choice? WHY?

|My first choice is…………………..because………… this is an altruistic internship set up specifically for the benefit of the intern instead of an exploitative internship |

|that is set up primarily to benefit the company with free labor from interns. In this internship, qualified professionals will take the time to mentor me and |

|share their knowledge in a nurturing environment that will allow me to gain some hands-on experience in the real world instead of my performing primarily menial |

|tasks with no opportunity for networking with other professionals on the job . |

What are your chances of landing this 1st choice internship? WHY?

|Chances are slim because many people apply and they only select the best…..maybe 2 out of 100 applicants. It also seems as if students who have connections to |

|people in the industry, i.e., relatives and friends, get preferential treatment. At this time in my career, I have no such connections so I don’t think my chances |

|are very good. |

#2 Which of the following internships is your second choice? WHY?

|Capitol Records – because it has the recognizable name and credibility in the industry. The internship duties of office work and studio maintenance are not as |

|exciting as my first choice which would provide me with more hands-on experience and networking opportunities, so if I am fortunate enough to get on at my first |

|choice, then I will take that internship. If not, then I’ll go with this one. I could definitely get more “hands-on” experience at a smaller company, but I’d |

|rather have the recognizable name and reference from a big company like Capitol. |

What are your chances of landing this 2nd choice internship? WHY?

|Pretty good because they accept over 50 interns a semester on a first-come, first-serve basis and I was one of the first to apply, so I think I have a good chance.|

#3 Which of the following internships is your 3rd choice? WHY?

|My third choice is…………………..because…………it has the recognizable name and credibility in the industry. The internship duties of office work and studio maintenance |

|are not as exciting as my first choice which would provide me with more hands-on experience and networking opportunities, so if I am fortunate enough to get on at |

|my first choice, then I will take that internship. If not, then I’ll go with this one. I could definitely get more “hands-on” experience at a smaller company, |

|but I’d rather have the recognizable name and reference from a big company like Capitol. |

What are your chances of landing this 3rd choice internship? WHY?

|Pretty good because they accept over 50 interns a semester on a first-come, first-serve basis and I was one of the first to apply, so I think I have a good chance.|
