Interview Process

  1. Determine short interview questions that will help you select the right student intern(s) for a mutually beneficial service internship experience.

  2. The student intern’s major or personal goals should match your internship description.

  • For example: If an education major contacts a nonprofit to help distribute food to the homeless, this is not the right internship for that particular student intern, unless the student intern would like to teach this population in the future. It is the student intern’s responsibility to pick the right service internship, but please help them in this process.

  1. Ensure you can accommodate the number of service hours USL student interns must complete (see next section) and that the student intern’s schedule is compatible with your programming.

  2. Make sure you discuss all the Service Internship requirements during interview.

  • All requirements (background checks, fingerprinting, age requirements, drug testing, time requirements, training/orientation, etc.) should be clearly noted in your service internship listing.
