What are you doing to invest in your interns this summer? The YURtern Program is free for interns to join and is hosted by the West Des Moines Chamber of Commerce. If you're managing an intern, attend the employer informational session to learn more and connect with managers who've successfully used this local resource. #Interns #SummerIntern #InternResouces #ProfessionalDevelopment

Today is #NationalInternDay! Interns are an integral part of teams across the region. Not only do interns provide fresh ideas, they are also a pipeline for West Michigan's workforce.

One of our interns last year asked me a good question: what bad habit did you overcome that helped you most professionally? Frankly, it was hard to choose! Learning from mistakes has become somewhat of a specialty. But the first bad habit that came to mind was this: Worrying. Usually starting around 2am. I do that much less now. In fact, hardly ever. Thankfully, someone a while back enlightened me to the phrase “worrying makes you suffer twice” – and that clicked. Work hard, sure. Do your best, of course. Seek help when needed, absolutely! But if you’ve done all that, worrying isn’t going to get you extra credit. Especially in the middle of the night. There’s more than enough to puzzle out during daylight hours, so give yourself some grace and save 2am for sleep. As we welcome this year's summer interns, I want to be prepared with some other good answers. What bad habit have you dropped over the years? Leave me a comment 👇

We have two summer internship roles currently available within the Department of Health Education. I have gotten quite a few emails from interested candidates who have just sent their resume as an attachment, without any text in the body of the email. I thought it might be helpful to provide some clear, simple suggestions for how to send an email expressing interest in an open role like this one. 1. Begin by introducing yourself, and stating your interest.  "Hi, my name is Alyssa Gale, and I am writing to express my interest in the summer 2024 internship role with the Mount Sinai Public Health and Racial Justice Program." 2. Share a little bit of background that you think demonstrates your passion or qualifications. "As a champion for health equity, I have worked on xyz programs / with xyz groups / addressing xyz issues." 3. Thank the reader for their time, and reiterate your interest.  "I appreciate your consideration, and am hopeful for the opportunity to further express my interest." Your email does not have to be long! Just a few sentences can do the trick, and provide a strong first impression that communicates enthusiasm and graciousness. It makes a big difference!

A place to learn and a place to build a career.

Absolutely one of the best experiences of my life!! Check out this blog post to learn more!
