Internships

Great - I'm glad you're seeking an internship and I'm glad you're finding one that serves as a stepping stone to your long term career goals. It's important to choose positions that help you develop from where you are to where you want to be. Smart college students think about the trajectory of their career while their in college so they can accomplish their goals later. Make sure to really hone in on the keywords in the job ad - the company will be looking for matches to those particular descriptions, so it's important to present yourself as a perfect match to their needs. This sounds like a good fit and great internship.

Accounting Internships

If you want to pursue a career in Accounting, it is highly advisable that you should pursue a semester long intership with in the Fall or Spring with a Public Accounting firm. I do understand concerns about exending your graduation but these semester long interships are extremely helpful in find a full time job. Usually the company you intern for end up hiring you when you get done with college. even the competition for these semetser long internships is lessor thus the chance for you landing one is a lot higher. I personally made the mistake of not pursuing one and that why I always advice anyone and everyone who wants to urdue Accounting to start there career to give a shot at these semetser long interships. The kind of projects you work on and the experience you gain is absolutely great and is very valuable even if you want to switch line of work.

MOR/Ryde is a very well respected company in Elkhart, Indiana. From what I understand, they are growing very quickly. I am originally from Elkhart, Indiana which is why I was surprised to see that someone's job they were looking for is actually in Elkhart! Good luck with the hunt and Elkhart really not too bad of a place for Indiana. Smiling
