CVs, Resumes, and Cover Letters, Oh My!

Well, it's that time, to fill out all those applications for internships and co-ops over the summer! It can be a challenging process. However, lots of students form IIT are very successful at obtaining outstanding summer positions. As I've gotten older, more and more of my peers are spending their summers at doing work towards their future goals. In fact, I would say it's rare for an IIT student to not be spending their summer being productive in some way. I spent last summer doing volunteer research at University of Chicago, and now, the doctor I worked for has been extremely helpful in helping me obtain a industry position for this coming summer. The summer before last, I worked in the UG Admission office full time, where I made the connection with my boss who connected my up to the doctor I did research with... Uff da! I guess one thing really does lead to another!
