Cultural Advice Once you have accepted an internship offer, it is yours◦ Verbal agreements constitute a commitment◦ You cannot accept multiple offers
Internships are not a guarantee of employment◦ Keep your focus on the internship – let your performance speak for you
Use caution if negotiating with an employer◦ Pressure may result in negative consequences◦ Posted internship pay is usually non-negotiable ◦ Ask for perspectives from our staff
