PROGRAM DETAILS
# of Applications: Students are only allowed to apply to THREE Remote Internships. If you apply for more than three you will be disqualified from the program. Students can search through other Remote Internships by viewing the Handshake employer, Tulane Remote Internship Program, or on the Remote Internship Website: https://careerwave.tulane.edu/trip/.
Orientation Sessions: If selected, you MUST attend one of our orientation sessions on February 20 or 21 (Location and Time TBD).
Credit/Reflection Papers: Remote Interns will receive academic credit for the internship and are required to complete a reflection at the end of the semester, due in May 2020 (TBD). These internships are unpaid.
Office Hours: Remote Interns will work 8-10 hours per week, based on employer preferences. Remote Interns will work remotely from the location of your and your employer's choice (on campus, coffee shop, dorm room/apartment, etc.) Remote interns will either have set weekly office hours with their employers or a flexible schedule, depending on the employer's preferences. Regardless of schedule, interns will need to complete work summaries and online check-ins for Tulane and their employers when requested.
Resume (Required): Each of these internships require an approved Handshake resume. If you do not currently have an approved resume in Handshake, and/or want to make one specifically for this program, in order for our career center staff to expedite the review and approval of your resume, please upload your resume in the following format - "TRIP - LAST NAME, RESUME". Resume approval can take up to 48 hours, so do not wait until the last minute to submit. IE if your resume requires additional work based on career center staff suggestions, if you want until 2 days before deadline to submit, you still might not have an approved resume by program deadline. Information about creating effective and approved resumes can be found at http://careerwave.tulane.edu/tripdocumentguide/.
Cover Letters (Required): Cover letters - written individually for each internship, should be submitted for approval using the format "TRIP COVER LETTER - COMPANY NAME, LAST NAME." Tips on writing cover letters can be found at http://careerwave.tulane.edu/tripdocumentguide/. Please address all cover letters to "Hiring Manager." Do not ask us for the names of the employers. At minimum, your cover letter should address the following questions:
- Why are you interested in this position?
- What skills do you currently possess that you feel will help you succeed in this position?
- What do you hope to learn from this internship?
- Is there anything else about you outside of what's on your resume that you'd like for the employer to know? (Creativity is encouraged with this question).
