Looking back through your journal and at the entire internship experience, what are three accomplishmeths of which you are most proud? These can be tangible, such as the final result of your project for the organizations, or intangible, such as a new understanding of international events.

Draw a table like the one below. List these three accomplishments in column 1. In column 2 list the skills you developed or applied toward this outcome. In column 3 list personal qualities that you demonstrated.

For example if you completed a database of communicaty outreach information, you may have developed skills using a certain type of software or in information gathering. The qualities you needed to complete the job may have been persistence, creativity and organization.

Once you have completed the chart, work these accomplishments, skills and qualities into your resume and cover letters when applying for jobs. Also think about how you are going to explain them to employers. Always have a short story ready about what you accomplished and how it will apply to the job for which you are applying.
