Revise and add any work experience from this summer. You don't have to wait until the summer is over. If you've lost track of the resume samples I gave you, email me and I'll send them to you again.
Deadlines: To get feedback from me (highly recommended) get it to me by the first week in August; Final draft: Sept. 1. The final draft should be in the form of a PDF with a file name that is just your name and the word resume. Like this: William.Jordan.Resume.pdf
Write a cover letter template that can be modified for each office you apply to. Each cover letter will include some of the same basic information that you want to highlight about your self—perhaps to emphasize important information on your resume. You can also check out the placement spreadsheet and start doing some research on the offices you plan to apply to. You’ll want a paragraph saying something about why you want to work for that MOC. It’s also helpful when you interview to know something about the MOC and about his or her district. You should also have samples of these from me.
WIP '26 Start date: Sunday, March 22. You should arrive at the hotel (200 C Street SE) before 5:00 and be ready for work the next day. We will go out to dinner as a group in the evening and I will give you a tour of the neighborhood.
End Date: Friday May 29. This is your last day of work and you may depart as early as that evening. Most interns leave on Saturday and return home for a few days before going back to Exeter. The school does not let WIP interns return to campus until Wednesday before graduation, June 3 in 2026. Students unable to return home may check out of the hotel on that date.
