I watched Courtney Kilpack, I learned that the more internships you do the better. She felt that by her doing her 3 internships, she was able to secure a job by the time she graduated.

I was impressed by all of them, they all had really good aspects. But I liked Trevor Tooke’s, how he was able to still stay in the area and meet a lot of local business owners and was even offered jobs by some of them. Another one that I liked was David Iba, because I speak Portuguese also. That would be a neat opportunity.

I thought that the facebook page was super awesome, I was surprised that it had so much stuff on it. There was a lot of networking happening when I looked at it. I couldn’t think of anything that I could come up with that would be more helpful, for this great website. Looks like you guys are doing it right.
