1.

Explain how an internship would enhance your career goal.

An internship would undeniably enhance my career goal. Seeing that I am aspiring to become a
criminal attorney or a corporate attorney, I am hoping for an internship in the courthouse or at a law firm.
Getting an internship at either site would provide me with real-life experience and expose me to what I
plan on becoming in the future. It can give me an insight into what my career is like other than research
or media interpretations. Also, an internship would provide me with the opportunity to build relationships
with people in my field which hopefully can ease the job search I am sure to have after college. If I
nurture such positive relationship that set me up with contacts that will be able to offer me a job. In the
present status of our economy, this will be completely beneficial to me. Therefore if I am afforded the
opportunity to work at a site in my field, it will absolutely enhance my career goal.

2.

What strengths will you bring to an internship?

Personally, I believe that I have many strengths that I can offer to any internship site. As an
active student in the Law and Public Policy program, I have sharpened my leadership qualities such as
public speaking, planning events, and being able to stay calm under pressure. I am able to take multiple
orders and stay organized, and I am good at multitasking. I am a very hardworking person and I also
dedicate myself wholeheartedly to any task I am given. Those are just a few of the many strengths I can
bring to an internship.
