<Tagline>How to speak body language during an interview</Tagline>

    <div class="html-content">From: <a href="http://www.prdaily.com/Main/Articles/How_to_speak_body_language_during_an_interview_13860.aspx">http://www.prdaily.com/Main/Articles/How_to_speak_body_language_during_an_interview_13860.aspx</a><br><br>Controlling the message isn’t just about knowledge and words. It can 
    also be about controlling your body—and imparting the right body 
    language.
    <br>
    <br>
    When it comes to the in-person, one-on-one interview there are some 
    important things to put into practice to keep yourself in control. They 
    are the finishing touches to a successful interview.
    <br>
    <br>
    <strong>The eyes tell a thousand lies:</strong> For the duration of the 
    interview look at the person you’re talking to. No one else. Try 
    watching an interview where the subject is looking all over the place. 
    You will probably miss his or her message, let alone believe it.
    <br>
    <br>
    <strong>The hands have it:</strong> Your hands will want to do 
    distracting things during an interview. So let them. But little 
    things—not big things. Keep them low, no higher than your chest, and 
    move them naturally to express yourself. It can be a useful release of 
    nervous energy. Otherwise they’ll want to plant themselves in your 
    pockets, run themselves through your hair, touch your face, command your
     arms to fold, or force other parts of your body to start moving around 
    uncomfortably. Give your hands a little air, but keep them low.
    <br>
    <br>
    <strong>Fashionista blister:</strong> Ever been distracted by someone 
    wearing really bad clothes? Seriously out of style? Colours and patterns
     that have an epileptic flaring effect on the TV screen? When dressing 
    for an interview keep the flares, big shoulder pads, and prized mustard 
    safari suit on hold for your next big social occasion.
    <br>
    <strong><br>
    I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date:</strong> You can be the 
    greatest expert around, but if you’re running late your interview could 
    be a calamity. Don’t risk becoming a bundle of nerves. Give yourself 
    plenty of time to get to the interview—getting out of the office, 
    through the traffic, and settled in well before it starts. You don’t 
    want to start your interview with high blood pressure and a racing 
    pulse.
    <br>
    <br>
    <strong>Artificial intelligence:</strong> This is the opposite of being 
    late. It’s about feeling good. For you, that might be going to the gym 
    ahead of the interview, getting a haircut, or having your favorite 
    breakfast. It may simply be doing your normal routine, but ensuring you 
    arrive for the interview at least 10 minutes early, having done your 
    practice. But it certainly shouldn’t involve having a drink or three 
    ahead of the interview.
    <br>
    <br>
    <strong>Mirror image:</strong> The three best ways to get better at 
    interviews are to practice, practice, and, yep, practice. The best way 
    to practice is in front of a mirror. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a 
    TV, radio, newspaper, or website interview. Whatever. Close the door, 
    leave your ego outside, and talk about your key points and anecdotes 
    while looking yourself in the eye. You will automatically critique and 
    improve your performance as you go along. When the interview is on for 
    real, you’ll be glad you looked yourself in the eye so many times. 
    You’ll know how you’re coming across.<br>

    <p>If you have good programming skills and are looking for an interesting alternative to the usual summer internship, you might check out the <a href="https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Google Summer of Code</a> program. It pays student developers $5000 stipends to write code for various open source projects over the summer. Over the past eight years, it has brought together over 6,000 students with over 300 open source projects to create millions of lines of code.</p>
    <p>Students who are accepted into the program will put the skills they have learned to good use by working remotely on an actual software project over the summer. Students are paired with mentors to help address technical questions and concerns throughout the course of the project. With the knowledge and hands-on experience students gain during the summer they strengthen their future employment opportunities in fields related to their academic pursuits.</p>
    <p>Students should submit applications via the <a href="http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2013" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Google Summer of Code 2013</a> site by May 3. Google says that that the best applications they receive are from students who took the time to interact with one of the participating <a href="http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2013" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">mentoring organizations</a> and discuss their ideas before submitting an application. About 1,200 students are expected to be funded this year.</p>

    <p>If you have good programming skills and are looking for an interesting alternative to the usual summer internship, you might check out the <a href="https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Google Summer of Code</a> program. It pays student developers $5000 stipends to write code for various open source projects over the summer. Over the past eight years, it has brought together over 6,000 students with over 300 open source projects to create millions of lines of code.</p>
    <p>Students who are accepted into the program will put the skills they have learned to good use by working remotely on an actual software project over the summer. Students are paired with mentors to help address technical questions and concerns throughout the course of the project. With the knowledge and hands-on experience students gain during the summer they strengthen their future employment opportunities in fields related to their academic pursuits.</p>
    <p>Students should submit applications via the <a href="http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2013" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Google Summer of Code 2013</a> site by May 3. Google says that that the best applications they receive are from students who took the time to interact with one of the participating <a href="http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2013" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">mentoring organizations</a> and discuss their ideas before submitting an application. About 1,200 students are expected to be funded this year.</p>

<Title>Intern of the week: Molissa Udevitz for Natural Resources</Title>
<Tagline>Learn about Molissa's experience in Alaska!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><span><strong>Name: </strong> Molissa Udevitz</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Internship, Co-op or Research Site:</strong>  Alaska Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Location of the Organization (City, State): </strong> Palmer, Alaska</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Title of Your Position:</strong>  Squad Leader Intern II</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Major(s)/Minor(s): </strong> Double Major - Environmental Studies and Dance</span></p>
    <span><strong>Expected Graduation Date (Month &amp; Year):</strong>  May 2015</span><br><br><em><strong><br>1. </strong></em><span><em><strong>Briefly describe your internship, co-op, research or service-learning 
    position/assignment, including your day-to-day tasks and 
    responsibilities.<br></strong></em></span><br><span><span>I work with a crew of nine other interns on various natural resource 
    management projects.  We spend each day out in the field working on 
    projects such as invasive plant surveys and removal, stream bank 
    restoration, and fuels reduction.  As one of two Squad Bosses, I help 
    supervise other crew members and projects as well as assist with 
    communication between our intern supervisor and the crew.</span><em><strong><span><br><br><em><strong>2. </strong></em></span></strong></em></span><span><em><strong><span><em><strong><span>What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization/company and what have you found most challenging?<br></span></strong></em></span></strong></em></span><br><span><span><span><span>The best part of my internship is that I get to work on a variety of 
    projects and meet different professionals while completing these 
    projects.  I have had the opportunity to meet, work with, and ask 
    questions of professionals who work for both nonprofits and the public 
    sector in natural resource management related jobs.</span></span></span><em><strong><span><em><strong><span></span></strong></em></span></strong></em></span><span><em><strong><span><em><strong><span><span><br><br></span></span></strong></em></span></strong></em><span><span><span>The most challenging part of my internship is identifying with my fellow crew members.  As the only college student on the crew, I have different priorities and goals than the other interns.  However, spending time with people unfamiliar to the college environment has exposed me to a new perspective.</span></span></span><em><strong><span><em><strong><span><span><br><br></span></span></strong></em></span></strong><strong><span><span><span>3. </span></span></span></strong></em></span><span><span><span><span><em><strong><span>What have you gained from your experience that you could not have gained from another summer activity?<br></span></strong></em></span></span></span></span><br><span><span><span><span><span><span>I am fortunate my internship is designed to be educational for interns, 
    and I don’t think another summer opportunity would have provided me with
     the same variety of experiences as this internship has.  Where else 
    could I have given a presentation on invasive plants to youth, learned 
    about forestry inventory and timber sales, attended a community 
    weed-pull event, become wildland fire-fighter certified, and gained 
    leadership experience as a Squad Boss?!</span></span><em><strong><span><span><br><br></span></span></strong><strong><span><span>4. </span></span></strong></em></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span><em><strong><span>How do you see your summer work as meaningful? Has it given you a chance to
     work on issues or with communities that matter to you?<br></span></strong></em></span></span></span></span></span></span><br><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>My summer work has been meaningful because the projects our crew completed
     will have a lasting positive impact on the environment.  For example, 
    by restoring stream banks, we improved salmon access to spawning 
    grounds.  Some of our other projects, such as making a trail from a 
    campground to a river handicap accessible, will allow people to further 
    enjoy nature for years to come.</span></span><em><strong><span><span><br><br></span></span></strong><strong><span><span>5. </span></span></strong></em></span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><em><strong><span>How has your summer experience shaped the way you think about your power to
     impact the world? This might involve skills you’ve gained, information 
    you’ve learned, mentors you’ve connected with, or projects you’ve 
    completed.<br></span></strong></em></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Before this summer, I knew I wanted to help solve some of the environmental challenges our world faces, but these problems often seem insurmountable.  I wasn’t sure if I would be qualified or capable enough to do this.  This internship introduced me to people who are working to help the environment one project at a time.  I’ve realized that I don’t need to come up with a grand solution; I can join this network of people, and all our individual projects will add up to have a large, positive impact on the environment.</span><em><strong><span><br></span></strong></em></span></span></span></span><em><strong><span><span><br></span></span></strong></em></span></span></span><em><strong><span><em><strong><span><span><br></span></span></strong></em><br></span></strong></em><br><br></span>
