JOB/INTERNSHIP SEARCH and/or GRAD SCHOOL PLAN OUTLINE

CAREER GOAL (S) (these can be big-picture like become a human rights attorney for the Hague, or they
can be smaller scale, get into biology masters program at UIC or obtain marketing internship this summer)
My goal is to obtain a psychology internship during the next school or even potentially next summer. If
it is possible to obtain an internship over the summer, then I will. If it is necessary that I have more
time to plan out and apply to any internship, then I will try to obtain one during the next school year.
Preferred functions include & Why: (what kind of role or skills do you want to use in your above stated
goals? Why are you interested in these career goals?)
Hopefully I can use my communication, relationship, and leadership skills while having a psychology
internship. I would like to gain experience in the psychology field. After taking a Psychology course
this semester and also the Univ 224 course, I have found an interest in psychology and an internship
would be a great way to gain more hands-on experience.
