The IDEA Center is hosting a “Be Found February 30-Day Challenge” to any student who is serious about landing an internship or job this summer.

Internships are the new entry-level job, and the new norm is that college grads need at least two internships before landing a full-time professional job offer. Throughout “Be Found February,” we will offer workshops and career events catered to landing your 2016 summer internship or job.

For the next 30 days, just invest a few hours each week coming to our workshops. After the 30-Day Challenge, you’ll turn the application process from several stressful hours to only 15 minutes. You’ll also have a game plan of the internship/job search process, and you’ll be ready to apply and interview for opportunities at a moment’s notice.

Take the challenge and bring your lunch to the Cap and Gown Room from noon to 1 p.m. over the next four Mondays.

Our webpage has more information. Questions? Stop by the IDEA Center or contact us at idea@georgefox.edu.

Faculty, please let your students know about “Be Found February.”
