1 Individual Action Plan for Internship Seekers The CMU- SV Individualized Action Plan is designed to help job or internship seekers establish a plan for success. An individual search may feel overwhelming or confusing at times, but breaking it up into smaller action items will make the process smoother and more efficient. To stay on track and ensure essential milestones aren t missed, it is recommended that job or internship seekers review the IAP monthly.
2 Individual Action Plan Internship Timeline It is important to note that every individual s internship search varies based on a variety of factors and may not follow this timeline exactly. An internship offer may come early in the year or toward the end, and some activities will be ongoing, but this gives internship seekers a general timeline of how their search may unfold. Starting early and staying on track is crucial for a successful internship search.

December Reflect and organize Organize your internship search what still needs your attention? What companies are you still interested in but haven t applied to yet?
