<Title>Intern of the Week: Kyle Baker for Graphic Design</Title>
<Tagline>Learn about Kyle&#8217;s experience at the FHFA!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p><strong>Name:  Kyle Baker</strong></p><p><strong>Internship, Co-op or Research
    Site: Federdal Housing Finance Agency</strong></p><p><strong>Major(s)/Minor(s):  Graphic
    Design/Media Communication Studies</strong></p><p><strong>Expected Graduation Year: 2016</strong></p><p><strong><em><br></em></strong></p><p><strong><em>Briefly describe your internship, co-op, research, or service- learning
    opportunity, including your day-to-day tasks, responsibilities, and
    assignments.</em></strong></p><p>As an intern for the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) I
    specifically worked for the Office of Congressional Affairs and Communications
    (OCAC). For my duration there I worked under the guidance of my supervisor
    assisting and in some cases even speerheading a series of informational FHFA
    video projects that were used both internally and externally. The title of one
    of the videos was called “FHFA: Strengthening Today and Securing Tomorrow.”
    This video was to be used for external general audiences looking to better
    understand what FHFA does and how it impacts them.</p><p><strong><em><br></em></strong></p><p><strong><em>What have you enjoyed the most about your position or
    organization/company?</em></strong></p><p>I enjoyed the professional nature of the position. It was my first time
    ever working a federal government job before but it was definitely an
    experience that was quite unique.</p><p><strong><em><br></em></strong></p><p><strong><em>What have you gained from your experience that you could not have
    gained from another opportunity?</em></strong></p><p>Federal Government experience. Trust me when I say, that it is without
    question a different breed of animal when it comes to things such as professionalism.</p><p><strong><em><br></em></strong></p><p><strong><em>What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an
    internship or similar experience?</em></strong></p><p>Never feel intimidated by whatever nature of position you are taking on
    nor feel that you don't have enough experience to perform well.</p><p><strong><em><br></em></strong></p><p><strong><em>How do you see your experience as meaningful? This might involve skills
    you’ve gained, information you’ve learned, mentors you’ve connected with, or
    projects you’ve completed.</em></strong></p><p>Honestly, if I had to describe this position in two words I would say
    "Rewardingly Challenging." When I was hired my supervisor explained
    that although I was an intern I shouldn't didn't expect the bulk of my duties
    to be making copies, taking phone calls or doing anything menial like that can
    typically come with the territory of being an intern but you don't really get
    any true experience from. I would be receiving the same caliber of workload and
    assignments was told from day one that I would be receiving the same caliber of
    workload and assignments that anyone on their actual staff would be required to
    complete as well be held to their same standard of performance. So although it
    was at times challenging, it was definitely the type of challenging that you
    wanted because you knew you were truly getting something out of it.</p><p><strong><em><br></em></strong></p><p><strong><em>Please provide a short quote about what you liked most about your
    position / earning internship credit / the internship placement process / the
    Shriver Center:</em></strong></p><p>To requote what I said in a previous question mine would simply be the
    following:</p><p>Honestly, if I had to describe this position in two words I would say
    "Rewardingly Challenging. Because although at times it was challenging, it
    was definitely the type of challenging that you wanted because you knew you
    were truly getting something out of it."</p><p></p></div>

That way, they will be on the lookout for your application or, at the very least, your name will ring a bell when they see it. <strong>Be strategic with your timing</strong>, though; don’t call them at 8:15 on a Monday morning when they’ll be crazy busy or 5:00 p.m. on a Friday when the only thing on their mind is going home.</p><h2><span>Be One of the Few Who Follow Up</span></h2><p>You might not be able to get hold of them on the first attempt, or they might not respond to your first email. But it’s okay to follow up on your messages as long as you don’t do it too often. Waiting at least a week is usually recommended, but it depends on who you’re working with.<strong>Don’t think of following up as bothering the recruiter</strong>; think of it as showing how much of a go-getter you are.</p><h2><span>Get the Recruiter’s Name Right</span></h2><p>Your ultimate aim here is to make a good impression, which won’t happen if you get their name wrong. Even if you’re looking at several different opportunities, make sure you know who you’re contacting each time and address that person appropriately. It is also critical to get their title, and their gender, correct.</p><h2><span>Make Your Resume Catchy</span></h2><p>Have a catchy personal profile or summary at the top that makes you sound interesting and committed. Recruiters <a href="http://blog.brazencareerist.com/2012/11/29/how-to-write-a-deliciously-enticing-resume-recruiters-wont-want-to-put-down/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">read hundreds of profiles</a>, and the more you can make yours stand out, the better. Don’t use the usual generic spiel and buzzwords—aim to think outside the box while remaining professional.</p><h2><span>Prioritize Information</span></h2><p>Your resume can only be one or two pages, so<strong> the details you include need to be maximally relevant and advantageous</strong>. The information recruiters are looking for to bump you up the queue are your key skills and experience, so internships and job experience should be prominent. Emphasize the responsibilities and skills you acquired at each role by listing them under each title.</p><h2><span>Be Interesting</span></h2><p>Hobbies and interests may not seem like the most critical section on your resume, but they’re still important. This is where you can <strong>show what you’re like as a person</strong> and what makes you different and fun. Don’t write about your run-of-the-mill hobbies like “watching movies” or “listening to music”; instead, include interests that give you a sense of uniqueness, traits that will help the recruiter remember you.</p><h2><span>Apply Early</span></h2><p>It shows dedication, organization and awareness if you apply long before the deadline. It also means your resume will be one of the first the recruiter sees, and if it impresses them, it makes their job—and yours!—a lot easier. When you decide you want to apply somewhere, don’t stall; get that application out as soon as possible.</p><p>Your resume has exactly one chance to impress. Diligently follow these steps… and get your resume on the fast-track to the recruiter’s ‘yes’ pile!</p></div></div></div>
