    Posted by Lindsey Aronson on Feb 1, 2021 1:26 PM

    Each month, we feature tips for success in landing Parker Dewey Micro-Internships, opportunities to get involved with our larger community of companies and organizations, and success stories that highlight the benefits of Micro-Internships. This newsletter was originally published in February 2021. To receive future Hire Learnings for Career Launcher newsletters, click here!

    Our advice for having the most successful Parker Dewey profile is this: Fill out the new location fields!
     
    We have recently added options on your profile for a city, state, and zip code for both your "hometown" and your "current location."
     
    Here’s why including this information could be critical in helping you to obtain a Micro-Internship on Parker Dewey:
    • We know college students are mobile and are often open to opportunities both near and far (especially with COVID-19)
    • By providing this data, we'll let you know if one of our regional partners like the Greater Akron Chamber of Commerce or Roanoke Region have opportunities
    • We'll also be able to alert you to on-site opportunities as they arise in your area.
    Like all of the details you provide in your profile, this information will never be used to filter you out of an opportunity, it only serves to make it easier to help you connect with employers!
