I am considering applying to Emory University ED. I want to either major in English or Polysci and want to become a journalist. How does the university help students recieve internships, either in the summer or during the school year? Has any student interned at CNN in Atlanta?
There are resources such as the Career Center to go to for resume reviews and interview practice. Many info sessions for companies are also held throughout the year. However, the biggest assets are probably the Alumni network and Handshake. If you network with the alums, it makes it easier to get your foot in the door and Handshake makes it more likely that your resume will get the attention it needs rather than applying online through generic application portals.
I know Emory students definitely intern with CNN. A notable case is Michael Dubin (the CEO of Dollar Shave Club)–who interned with CNN when he was a student at Emory.
