bring this very important initiative to TSU in an effort to grow opportunities for students to obtain and sustain positions with the global technology giant. Additionally, as part of the Jam, Microsoft engineers facilitated Tech Talks to
empower students with “real-time” strategies and methods for landing a career with the company. The Tech Talks
focused on Technology Education, Cloud, Mobility, Productivity and Analytics.
“The Innovation Jam was much grander than I thought it would be. The
Tech Talks were more like one-on-one conversations between actual software engineers and students. We were able to tell them where we thought
technology should be going and how we saw ourselves fitting into that environment. As a techie, that was really cool! Many thanks to the Office of
Career Services for helping me properly equip myself with the skills to handle such intense interactions.”

WHY INTERN?
Interning in the
Office of Career Services
By Meagan Fifer
As the 2015 year comes to a
close, so does my first year in
the Office of Career Services
(OCS). I can say, without a
doubt, that my time spent in the OCS office was
more eye-opening than the 165 credit hours accrued to receive both my bachelors and masters
degrees. In the course of 12 months, I went from
Intern to Graduate Assistant to my current position of Program Assistant.
Interning with the
Houston Rockets
How did I do it?
Eanna Rutherford (pictured above) is a
native of Ireland who graduated first in his
undergraduate degree program. Rutherford
is currently enrolled in Texas Southern
University’s Health and Human Performance Master’s program. He is expected
to graduate in August of 2016.
Q&A
How long have you been with the
Rockets?
The OCS office opened up a whole new world of
possibilities for me. The skill sets learned from
facilitating career assessments to conducting professional development workshops fell right in line
with what I needed to land the career of my
dreams. I now had a viable conduit to get me to
the finish line.
If you’ve come by the office these last few semesters, I’m the one who usually sits in the back of
the front office, better identified as “the girl who
helped me with my resume.” Although that
might be my nickname to the students, I do so
much more. Further, the opportunity to learn
direct hands-on experience from proven professionals in my field has been priceless. Before
interning in the OCS, I didn’t have a work history
and my volunteer experience was laughable. I
didn’t qualify for any of the jobs I wanted, regardless of already having a Bachelor’s degree and
being half-way through my Master’s program.
Knowing what I know now has given me the
confidence and aptitude to reach my highest
heights.
I interned as a Sport Performance
Coach Intern with the team for one
year, and was then offered the Assistance Sport Performance Coach position which is what I do now.
Was this your first Internship?
No, actually this was my third internship. I did one in my undergraduate
program, and post graduation.
Do you have any advice for anyone
wanting to follow your path?
INTERNSHIPS
Aim high, go for the best you can. You
have to be able to work around the “no
pay” aspect and be prepared to work
hard. You almost have to have the mentality of it being okay to “ lose money
to gain money”. You’ll get it back and
then some!
http://www.tsu.edu/careercenter
I was at a function one day and met Dr. Roberson, Director of the Office of Career Services,
who began chatting me up once she found out I
was working on my Masters in Counseling. The
questions she asked me about my future and
career path really got me thinking and if I can be
totally transparent, pretty scared. I didn’t have
any experience. I hadn’t interned. How was I
going to get a career in my field? She then gave
me the break that would ultimately put everything
into perspective for me. She offered me an internship in the OCS office.
Internships are sometimes (most times) unpaid.
You might even have to go fetch coffee once or
twice, but that is okay. Internships are the cornerstone for so much more. They are a portal to
take you from student, to a professional in your
field. Some internships can be as short as six
weeks, and some can last as along as a year. Similar to my experience, the best part about internships is all the experience and knowledge that
you learn. Most internships require at least a 2.75
GPA. To help set yourself from the rest of the
competition try to aim for a 3.0 or better. By
the beginning of sophomore year you should
have already found your way to the Office of
Career Services. It’s important that you use
the resources they have available for you to
help scout out those possible internship opportunities available.
GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR
INTERNSHIP
Here are four steps I took to land my internship
opportunity.
1)
Take every opportunity to network with professionals in your field of interest. How do
you expect to get a career if no one knows
that you exist.
2)
Be open to interning even if it is unpaid. You
would pay far more to go to school to learn
what your internship will teach you for free.
3)
Always put your best foot forward. Don’t just
be a person who performs “job duties” be a
person who gets things “accomplished.” Go
to your internship everyday wanting to perform above expectation. Companies are always looking for their next leader.
SOME DO’S & DON’T’S
DO’S:
 Resume revisions Make sure your resume
is 100% error free by having it reviewed by
the Office of Career Services.
 Ask Questions. Don’t be afraid to ask
questions. No one is expecting you to know
everything your first day.
DON’T’S:
 Burning bridges. Even if your internship
wasn’t what you thought it would be, you
never know when that contact might come
in handy.

Overstepping boundaries. Don’t think you
know more than someone who already
has a permanent position. Remember you
are there to learn
CONCLUSION
Internships are invaluable experiences that help
you get one step closer to “Entry-Level”. If you’re
past your sophomore year, don’t fret, there are still
opportunities available for you. Most internships
are geared toward students who still have at least
two years left on their programs, so be diligent and
don’t waste too much time!

WHY INTERN continued...
UNCF’s Gateway to Leadership Program,
Sponsored by the Money Management Institute provides access, to the financial services
industry, to aspiring individuals upon college
graduation who may not otherwise have a natural path into the industry. It includes, but is not
limited to, African Americans, Hispanics, women and students from less recognized universities.
MBA student Ikechukwu Udegbunam (Iyke) was a 2015 Summer Intern
with Voya National via the Gateway To Leadership Program .
1. What was your title and responsibility with Voya Financial? I was an
Equity Analyst Summer Intern with Voya Financial’s Equity Research
Team.
2. How did you prepare for the interview with Voya Financial? I stayed
up to date with the financial news, and global markets. I also enlisted the
assistance of the Career Services Office to thoroughly revise my resume.
3. What are the benefits of working for the Voya Financial?
Voya Financial helped me gain a competitive advantage in the job market
through Network expansion. This aided me in becoming a better financial
professional.
4. Is Voya a fortune 100 — 1000? Yes, Fortune 500. What advice do you
have for other students/alum who are pursuing career opportunities with
these kinds of companies? Students should network as much as they can,
talk to professionals, seek information about their career, get mentors, and
apply to as many positions as they can.
5. What do you feel is the most significant skill/qualification an employee
should have? Communication, team player, and proficient knowledge of
your chosen field.
6. Have you had many personal challenges to face on your career journey? Challenges I have faced are applying for jobs and internships and not
getting considered for interviews. Competing with highly qualified students
with prior internship experience has also been a major challenge.
7. How important was the Career Center in helping you develop your
career plan? I have always been used to doing things on my own as well as
applying for jobs on my own, but without the information I got from the
career center, I wouldn't have gotten the information about my most recent
internship. TSU’s Career Center helped me to work on my resume and
offered some useful tips on applying for jobs. My internship with VOYA
Financial became a success because of the application information I got
from the Career Center.
8. Where do you see yourself in 2 years? I see myself working in a corporation as a financial analyst and helping the company bring in more people
that can make positive impacts on the growth of the financial industry.

Oluwadamilola
(Dame) Adisa is the
Office of Career
Services Graduate
Research Assistant.
Dame is getting her
Master’s Degree in
Healthcare Administration. She is expected to graduate in May 2017.
Working as Graduate Research Assistant in the Career Service Office has not only given me the opportunity to participate in different career events and better understand work
ethics of my new environment, it has also enhanced my
knowledge and interpersonal relationship skills through day-to
-day interactions with students and employers.
As an international student, that just gained admission into a
US graduate college, I wanted work experience so I was directed to the office of Career Services where I met with the
Dr. Roberson. She not only gave me strong motivational encouragement but also provided me an opportunity to work as
a volunteer intern in the office and after about a month I was
placed on salary as a student employee.
Despite having 6 years work experience in my home country,
working with the team members of the Career Service office is
one of the best working experiences I have had. Having a
friendly leader and Coordinator to help you learn new and
better ways of carrying out tasks makes you, willingly, feel
compelled to want to do more. This opportunity has been
priceless!
Raleigh Fletcher (is a December 2015 graduate, majoring
in Organizational Communication and
Student Career
Services Assistant in the Office of Career Services.
My experience in the Office of Career Services has been
amazing, to say the least. Working here has exposed me to
beneficial information, such as current employment opportunities in my chosen field, résumé building techniques, interviewing skills, and administrative work. The Office of Career
Services has a very welcoming environment. It has been a
pleasure to be part of the OCS team!
