Employers: University Preparatory Academy Has Interns For You!

2010-03-29T17:04:00.005-04:00

We received an inquiry from University Preparatory High School in Detroit, Michigan about internships for graduating seniors during the summer prior to entering college. While DI Network does not provide listings for graduating high school seniors, we wanted to inform our employers about this request.

Please contact Orma Smith (osmith@uprep.com) at University Preparatory High School if you are interested in hiring one of their outstanding graduates.

University Preparatory Academy High School opened in September of 2003 when UPA's first Middle School students were ready to enter the 9th grade. It began with a 9th grade class of 128 students and added a grade each year, until it reached its full size in 2007. That was the same year that University Prep High School graduated its first class. Ninety-four percent of the first 12th grade class graduated that year, and over 90 percent of those graduates went on to post-secondary educational programs, statistics that have only been improved in succeeding years. These numbers show that our "one student at a time" philosophy is working. We've found a path that works for Detroit-area children, and we look forward to leading more students along that pathway.

Middlebury College's Review of DI Network - Hilarious!

2010-03-11T17:35:00.013-05:00

A review from Middlebury College's Career Services Blog...a little outdated, but hilarious.

So we all know how great MOJO and LACN are as sources for finding scrumptious internship and job opportunities. But what if the absolutely fabulous internships or jobs they offer don't quite suit your fancy? Tough luck, better luck next time...don't worry, I'm only kidding. I know you're extremely relieved. But seriously, beyond the resources found in the Student section of the CSO website for finding internships, me and my fantastical self happened to stumble across another means for learning about great internship and job opportunities.

It is called DI (Detroit Intern) Network. Haven't heard of it? Neither had I. Beyond what the title might imply, internships in Detroit, it lists oodles of internship and job opportunities in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco-Oakland, Washington D.C.

Here's a taste of what DI Network offers:

- Over 4000 jobs and internships available for viewing!
- Register, view and apply for opportunities for free! Register at http://detroitintern.com/register/
- National network of regional web sites! See all locations at http://www.dinetworkonline.com/
- Coming Soon: Expanding to Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland and Denver.
- Easy to use management system.
- Online candidate applying with free resume upload.
- Partnership with Idealist.org.
- Featured on The Riley Guide and in Crain's Detroit Business!
- Free resume and job resources available.
- Better internal statistics to improve our sites' effectiveness.

If you did not know, I took that blurb from the DI Network. And if you didn't notice, they used an exuberant amount of exclamation points, so you know it's good, or at least they are real pumped for it so you should be too. I was told by a dear friend, Good Time Tom, that people respond to exclamation points and smiley faces in writing. Maybe DI Network found the method to be equally useful, it caught my attention. In any event, DI Network is another great way for you to find internships and jobs! So check it out!

Premium Resume Resources - $18.99 Introductory Price

2009-08-23T20:26:00.035-04:00

DetroitIntern Network is providing low-cost resume resources as part of the September 18 Fall Launch.

In this slowly improving but extremely tough economic market, recent graduates and many in transition are looking for reliable information for creating or improving one's resume.

We found that much of the information and free resources on the Internet are poorly organized, incomplete, from an unknown source, or just contain useless, bad advice.

The typical resume resource offers simplistic statements without much explanation such as the following:

"Avoid typos and grammatical errors."

Great, but how does that help! How does it relate to your own experiences? How can you fix this?

The following simple examples highlight the depth DetroitIntern Network resources will provide:

Avoid typos and grammatical errors. This is crucial because reviewers judge candidates on their grammar and spelling. Bad grammar and sloppy spelling are the equivalent of stains on an expensive suit. They create a bad appearance but can be easily cleaned. Here are some tips:

1. Use your word processor's spell check, but be careful to not rely on it only.

ex: If you spelled "effect" and you meant "affect," the spell check will not catch this mistake. But the reviewer will.

2. Proofread your resume after taking an extended break once you finish drafting your resume.

3. Have somebody else proofread your resume. Fresh eyes can see what you can't see.

4. Use active verbs and avoid passive verbs. Active verbs provide your resume personality and allows you to get straight to the point! Passive verbs make you and your resume seem wordy and boring.

For example:

Active example: "Worked in the community."
Passive example: "I was in the community working."

.................

Every crucial point will be explained with easy to understand analogies and examples. How? We have partnered with Kris Plantrich of ResumeWonders Writing and Career Coaching Services. Kris brings a plethora of experience and accreditations including:

Published work in seven career industry books, including "No-Nonsense Resumes" by Wendy Enelow and Arnold Boldt
Interviewed for articles in the Detroit Free Press and The Flint Journal, career segments on WJBK-Fox's Detroit Channel 2, and an internet radio program.
Certified Career Management Coach (CCMC)
Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW)
Certified Employment Interview Professional (CEIP)
Certified Internet Job Search Expert (CISJE)
Authorized D.I.S.C. Assessment Administrator
Certified 360Reach Analyst
Member of Professional Association of Resume Writers (PARW)
Member of Career Management Alliance (Formerly CMI)
Member of Career Directors International (CDI)
Proud member of Volunteers for Careers providing free assistance to Hurricane Katrina victims

The Premium Resource Package includes:

Original publications providing advice and explanations
Sample resume
Resume template that you can edit into your own.
Professional email feedback
Web support features

All of these resources will be easily accessible and organized in the "Resources" sections of all of our DetroitIntern Network sites with the purchase of a premium account.

This is a $49.95 value, but we are offering these resources for an introductory $18.99.

Coming September 18, 2009
