MIW Interview Preparation Tips

1.  Meet with school and concentration advisors to ensure that graduation plans stay on track. 

2.  Make an appointment at Student Career Services to update your resume.  Have your references sent there so that they can be used for your MIW application, and also for your internship search.  

3.  Explore internship ideas using Google.  Enter your area of interest and Washington, DC to see what types of organizations appear and whether you might be interested in working for them.  

4.  Outline your research interests and connect with MIW alums who have the same interests.  Think about whether you would like to combine your internship with the research paper, or keep them separate.  Honors students might consider using the research paper as a basis for an honors thesis.  

5.  Most students observe the Washington dress code at interviews - suits or jackets and ties for men, and appropriate business dresses, suits or slacks for women.  

6.  Join the MIW Facebook group and post questions for students who have been through the program.
