This semester I have been looking for an engineering internship. Two years ago I worked at a manufacturing company in Pennsylvania. This company came to mind first, but they were not currently offering any internships. I decided to create a one-page document describing exactly the internship I wanted. Although ambitious, this was ideal because I designed the internship around exactly what was most interesting to me and what I would be most excited about. During this process, I was thinking about selling myself. I was selling myself and trying to convince the company to hire me. I also had to factor in what was important and beneficial to the company. And so I designed the internship with the hope of adding a lot of value to the manufacturing process. The company was so excited about my passion for the internship and my taking initiative to design it myself, that they gave me the job.
