Bold Beginners Internship Program

• A cover letter is not necessary, but if you do choose to write one, please ensure it’s addressed to the proper company and isn’t overly complex.

• Have a clear objective at the top of your resume.

• Highlight your top skills and experiences. Be sure to provide examples to further leverage these areas of your application (School projects, accomplishments, certificates, bootcamps, etc.). How do these skills and experiences apply to the job description and/or how do they tie into what you’d like to contribute to the organization long-term?

• Keeping your resume and cover letter succinct is key! What are the 3 key takeaways you would want a recruiter to gain from reviewing your application? Make sure they are front and center.

• We review all candidates from a holistic view. It's important to put time and energy into both your resume and short answer questions. Effort and thoughtfulness need to be evident on both parts!

• Double check for typos.

• Reach out to a mentor, your family and friends, or your university’s career center for guidance to draft your resume and/or cover letter. Their feedback may help uncover additional skills and experiences you didn’t originally think to include!

• Double check you're not muted when you join.

• Be on time, if not a few minutes early, and test the interview platform prior to the start of the interview.

• Try to eliminate any distractions and prepare in advance. If you don’t have a quiet place available to join a virtual interview, your school may have reservable quiet spaces. A neighborhood library or quiet café with reliable Wi-Fi may also be a good choice.

• Dress to impress! Interview attire is typically business smart or business casual.

• Have a copy of your resume sitting in front of you for easy reference, so you don't have to try to recollect your experiences from memory.

• Prior healthcare experience is not required to be a Bold Beginner, but we do like to hear about what skills you would like to apply to a role at IPG Health and the experiences you’ve had that shaped those skills.

• Come with questions! Recruiters and Hiring Managers love it when you pick their brain and demonstrate your interest in the company, industry or their personal career journeys. Ask questions that you’re passionate about and that will help you better understand the role or company.

• Before the interview, take 15 minutes to look through the company's work, initiatives, agencies, etc. These resources will help you determine why you’re interested in the particular role/company, and this enthusiasm will be clear during the interview.
