Help! Ambiguous wording on internship application

Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>Hi everyone, I am applying for an internship at a senator's office. On the application it says that I need to, "attach a short (500 words) statement about your expectations of an internship program, and your goals for your participation in the program."</p>

<p>I am confused by what exactly they want me to discuss. Do they want me to:</p>

<p>a) Discuss my general expectations that I would have for any intership program, along with what my goals would be in this program.</p>

<p>b) Discuss my expectations for their program and my goals for their program.</p>

<p>c) Something else?</p>

<p>Regardless of the answer, I'm still a bit perplexed as to what exactly they are looking for in this essay. Does anybody have any experience in this type of thing? I am in a business major and I am looking to incorporate those interests in the internship--is this something that I should talk about?</p>

<p>Thank you for any help. Sorry if there too many questions in there!</p>

<p>It sounds very clear that it is choice a. You can discuss some of the things you wish to gain from an internship program (maybe experience, knowledge, and/or professionalism in your field). Then you can talk about the specifics of their program and explain what you wish to get out of it.</p>
