Dear students, Please see below for information about the internships workshop being offered by Prof. Jason Tougaw on Wednesday, Sept 23, 12.30pm-1.15pm. A zoom link will be sent out early next week. In the English Department<http://english.qc.cuny.edu/> at Queens College, we are dedicated to helping students discover and pursue a variety of careers. People often ask, "What can you do with a degree in English?" The answer is that many industries are interested in recruiting students who think critically, write well, communicate effectively, have experience in digital media, and are attuned to the global or intercultural perspectives employers need in the twenty-first-century workplace. The current job market is complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic-no question. But there is hope. A variety of employers are finding creative ways to provide internship opportunities and hire new employees. For example, small organizations are setting up workspaces to accommodate physical distance guidelines. Other organizations are offering remote positions. Given the severe impact of the pandemic on the borough of Queens, The English Department and Queens College consider it more important than ever to help students prepare for and find internship and employment opportunities. Professor Jason Tougaw, English Internship Coordinator, will facilitate a workshop to help students think about how to find internship opportunities and take advantage of college resources to help them prepare for the application and interview process. Participants should read the Careers & Internships and Alumni pages<http://english.qc.cuny.edu/undergraduate/horizons/> on the English Department website in advance of the workshop. Dr. Siân Silyn Roberts Associate Professor of English Director of Undergraduate Studies Department of English, Queens College Office Hours: Mondays, 9:00am-10:00am on Zoom<https://zoom.us/j/92153595782>.
