Internship Site: NFL - Detroit Lions
Program of Study: Liberal Arts Transfer
Job: Football Education Intern
Quote: "The Center for Career Success at WCC provided me with invaluable assistance in
my internship search. Despite applying to over 25 internships for the summer 2023,
I only received two interview opportunities, which made me realize that my resume
needed improvement. Fortunately, Amanda Deacon was available to help me build and
perfect my resume, and after investing considerable time and effort into the process,
I was pleased to share it with other internship postings. Although I was disappointed
not to secure an interview with Adidas (my top internship), I continued applying to
internships through platforms like LinkedIn and Handshake. Eventually, the Lions responded
positively to my application, but I was understandably nervous about the interview.
Fortunately, I had the opportunity to do an interview prep session with Amanda, which
helped boost my confidence. Despite being called for a group interview, which was
a new experience for me, Amanda's reassurance helped me succeed. Overall, the Center
for Career Success at WCC has helped me in multiple ways, including resume building,
self- confidence, and interview preparation."
