Attach a resume if you have one.
I understand that I will commit myself to work at a finance-related institution for at least six weeks during my junior or senior years. I understand that I will be provided with one job placement opportunity to assist me in fulfilling my internship requirement. Every effort will be made by the program coordinator to locate a job that matches my skills and area of interest. However, I understand that there is no guarantee that I will be provided with a job of choice. Therefore, I agree to be flexible and demonstrate a positive attitude on the job. Should I decide to locate my own job, I understand that the Director of the Academy must approve the job. My acceptance further commits me to be a program participant during my entire senior year. I will exhibit appropriate behavior and adhere to a proper dress code when necessary.
