Over break, please consider pursuing an internship for Summer 2018! You should act on these over the break!
Internships – Is your resolution to get summer work or an internship in Theatre? Haven’t thought about it? Now’s the time! Start your search below. Also, don’t be hesitant to ask your fellow students and faculty. Internships and summer opportunities are where careers begin! Please use your faculty as resources to review your resume.
Also, don’t rule out crashing on a family member’s couch if you find an internship in a far flung area (like LA, NY or Chicago). You can make it work!
Resumes you say? https://www.pace.edu/career-services/sites/pace.edu.career-services/files/PDF/TheatreResumeGuidebook.pdf Make sure you emphasize the skills that you have learned or are currently learning! Juggling, languages, instruments, dance, etc. all are worth mentioning. Googling a few will help you immensely.
Going home to live with family over the summer? Approach a local arts institution for an internship, volunteer opportunities or paid opportunities. All these experience will help build your resume and toolbox of practical skills to gain employment in the arts.
Internships and summer opportunities are where careers begin! It cannot be overstated the importance of seeking out internships – just ask other students! Search the MTD site for a list of students who had internships last year.
