The U.S. Federal Government’s Pathways Programs Revealed

by Valerie Kielmovitch

logo_PathwaysHave you ever thought about a career with the Federal Government?  Some reading this might have thought, “Yes, I have always wanted to be a Special Agent!” while others may think, “There aren’t any opportunities for my degree with the government.”  Fortunately, there are many great opportunities within the United States Federal Government.  Below are some great ways to get your foot in the door.

In July 2012, the new Pathways Program went into effect after President Obama signed an executive order to help encourage current students and recent graduates to think about a career with the government.

There are 3 programs:

  1. Internship Program: This program is intended for current students (high school, college, or graduate) to temporarily work at a government agency while in school.  This program replaces the Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) and Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP).  Positions could be full-time or part-time and are usually related to students’ fields of study.  Each individual agency will post their positions through www.usajobs.gov.  Interns may be non-competitively converted to a permanent position (or to a term position lasting 1-4 years) within 120 days of the successful completion of the program.
  2. Recent Graduates Program: This program is for students who are within two years of their graduation.  Typically this career development program lasts for one year in length and could possibly lead to another more permanent position.  Those in the program are also assigned a mentor.  Veterans have up to six years to apply to this program if military service obligation was a concern.  Again, each individual agency will post their available positions through www.usajobs.gov.
  3. Presidential Management Fellows Program:  This program is for students who have completed an advanced degree and are within two years of graduation.  This is a two year obligation with rotations to various agencies.  The application process is very rigorous for this program.  There is a strong mentorship component, but conversion to a full-time position with the government after completion is not guaranteed.  To learn more about this opportunity, visit www.pmf.gov.

To learn more information about these great programs, please visit: https://www.usajobs.gov/StudentsAndGrads

Besides the main USAJOBS website, ensure that you look at specific agency websites for more information about opportunities.  Since the program is still relatively new, not all agencies have progressed to the new program.  Make sure your profile and resume on USAJOBS are updated so applying for positions will be easy.  As always ensure all documents have been proofread and pay attention to the details of the posting.

Typically you must be a U.S. citizen to work for the Federal Government, but all requirements are listed on individual position postings.  Positions are available around the world and not just in Washington D.C.  Remember to apply for positions early as the process to obtain positions could take a few months.  Finally, some application periods are open for only a few days to just a few weeks.  Make sure you are actively looking for positions on USAJOBS and/or receive email updates with positions that may be of interest to you through the site.  To learn more tips on applying to Federal Government opportunities, please visit the Career Services website at http://careers.erau.edu/find-job/federal/index.html.

The Right Stuff: The Truth About Internships

by Sally Richards

intern8There are often rumors about what is true or not true in the pursuit of internship positions.  I want to expose the myths about internships and encourage you to consider this great opportunity.   

Myth: I can’t do an internship. I need to graduate in four years so I can get out of school and get a job.
Truth:  I’ve heard this many times that students do not want to extend their graduation dates “just to do an internship.” First of all, internships are offered each of the 3 semesters during the school year. You can arrange your schedule to open up one of the terms for a work experience WITHOUT extending your graduation date. It just takes a little preplanning when you are considering your four year scheduling. Think of it this way…by doing an internship you can devote one semester to building your skill set, enhancing your resume and making yourself more attractive and marketable to employers.  Why would you be so set on graduating in four years and yet have no experience to help you stand out in the pile of resumes sitting on an employer’s desk?

Myth: I won’t be considered a full-time student if I do a co-op/internship.
Truth: As long as you participate in a full-time work experience for the full semester and are registered for credit, you will be enrolled as a full-time student by the University and for most scholarships and insurance.  If applicable, Records and Registration will be able to furnish a Verification of Enrollment to show your full-time status.

Myth: I can’t earn academic credit for the semester if I am doing a co-op/internship.
Truth: You may earn college credit for your internship. To receive credit for an internship, a student will have to meet the eligibility requirements set forth by University policy in order to participate in the Co-op/Intern Program.  Documentation from the employer and University registration are required in order to earn credit for an internship.  ERAU requires a student to complete specific requirements designated by his or her department’s criteria, including a satisfactory paper, satisfactory supervisor performance evaluation and completing the full semester.  A student earns a Pass or Fail grade for the work term. 

Myth: My GPA is only a 2.8; I won’t get hired for a co-op/internship.
Truth:  Some companies do require a 3.0 or higher GPA, but many use the GPA as one of many factors to determine who they will select for internships.  Demonstrating a good attitude; displaying confidence; having good interpersonal, oral and verbal communication; showing organizational skills; being knowledgeable in basic office skills; exhibiting leadership skills; and working in teams allows the recruiters to evaluate the character and abilities of a well-rounded individual.  What you lack in one area may be overshadowed by a strength in another.

Myth: I have a traffic violation on my driving record. I don’t think I will get hired.
Truth:  The key to dealing with blemishes on your record is honesty. Be sure that you are truthful on all applications and in all your answers to employers. There are several factors that will be considered by an employer.  What age were you when you had the violation?  Have you had a clean record since? Did you learn from the mistake? Or do you have repeated violations indicating you didn’t learn a lesson?  Either way, be truthful.  Take responsibility for your bad judgment or teenage infallibility. Don’t blame the cause on someone or something besides yourself. Explain what you learned from this mistake. Remember, most companies do background checks, and an investigation in this technological world will reveal any secrets you think you can hide.  An employer does not want to be surprised by actions you should have revealed in your application or during the interview process; they may end up having to dismiss you for lying after you are hired.

Myth: I can only do an internship during the summer.
Truth:  Students can apply to co-ops/internships for any semester: spring, summer, or fall.  Opportunities are more abundant during the summer semester, but you may find less competition for openings during the other terms.  For any semester, you should apply for opportunities as soon as possible, but at least by the semester BEFORE you anticipate doing the work experience, as the process of researching, locating, and applying for an internship can take some time. Some companies have deadlines that are six or more months ahead of the actual experience, and government agencies and defense contractors do extensive background checks that take many months to complete.  It is best if you are flexible with the internship timing and stay on top of the deadlines for opportunities you want to pursue.

Myth: I should only apply to positions that are paid.
Truth:  Identify your goals first.  Unless you are in a tight financial situation, money should not be the deciding factor in which internship you accept.  If money is not the motivator, what will motivate you?

Do you want to work for a particular company or in a specific geographical area? Do you like the work itself? Are there opportunities for achievement and recognition? Will there be opportunities for career development?

Myth: I’ll lose my financial aid if I do an internship.  I’ll have to pay back student loans if I’m not at school.
Truth: As long as you are enrolled in the official Co-op/Internship Program and are working at the internship full-time for the required number of weeks in the semester, you are considered a student and may be eligible to receive financial aid.  Therefore, you will not have to start paying back student loans as long as you are a current student in good standing with the University and working full-time. 

Myth: It will be difficult to find housing at the internship location.
Truth: While housing can be a concern, there are various options that you can explore.  Some companies do offer housing or a housing stipend, or they may assist students with housing arrangements during their internship semester.  Typically bigger corporations, companies with a long standing co-op/intern program, or companies that hire a number of co-ops/interns each semester will offer this benefit.  Additional assistance can come from the HR Department or Manger of your company, online classifieds like Craig’s List, current or former interns, alumni, low tech bulletin boards that advertise availability of crash pads/shared housing or family and friends who might be willing to share space with you (and even a home cooked meal). 

Myth: I can only apply to Internships through the EagleHire Network.
Truth: EagleHire Network is Embry-Riddle’s career management system.  As long as you meet University and your campus’ requirements, you may have access to apply to co-op/internship positions posted on EagleHire.  To find opportunities outside of EagleHire, consider speaking with faculty, alums and professionals at conferences.  Build your network to help you find opportunities.  You can also review career resources in order to locate the internship that fits you. 

Myth: I should look for a position with a big name well-established company.
Truth: There are advantages of seeking an internship with a well-established company, but many organizations, both big and small, provide high quality internships that may provide a broad range of responsibilities. 

Myth: If I’m International, I won’t be able to do an internship.
Truth:   Before graduation, International students are eligible to participate in co-ops/internships as long as they meet the eligibility requirements of the Co-op/Intern Program and the employer’s qualifications. International students obtain official documents from the SEVIS Coordinator so they can use their Curricular Practical Training (CPT) work authorization to maintain their legal immigration status.  Companies recruit and hire International students for internship experiences; government, defense contractors, and space agencies would be the exception.   Use the Career Services resources and links to external websites.

Myth: I will be doing menial tasks, schlepping coffee and filing documents for the employees.
Truth: Embry-Riddle’s Co-op/Intern Program requires that a co-op or internship work experience be relevant to your degree.  A position is approved by your department after the advisor determines that the work experience will be worthwhile.  You will be challenged, applying what you’ve learned in class, learning new skills and developing a professional work ethic.  In most cases, you’ll be treated as a valuable staff member, working on real projects and being given responsibilities just like a new hire.  With all professional experiences, there are always administrative tasks in every job category in order to accomplish the mission and goals of an organizational structure.

Myth: You’re guaranteed a full-time job if you do an internship.
Truth:  Companies most often use internships to recruit the best and the brightest students for full-time positions; therefore, internships are more likely to open doors to entry-level positions.  Sometimes interns are hired by employers directly, but this action would depend on the intern having the right skills, attitude and experience. In addition, the economy, financial standing of a company and potential new contracts should also be factored into an offer of full-time employment. In reality, an internship is a 15 week interview with you in the spotlight…what a perfect setting for a company to evaluate the capabilities, performance, attitude, and initiative of prospective employees. Students may not get a full-time position offer from the company they interned for, but the experience they gained during their term will make them more marketable to other companies when going through the recruiting process.

For every rumor you hear about internships or the Embry-Riddle Co-op/Internship Program, it is important to find the correct answers.  Discuss your questions with your campus co-op/internship contact and consider participating in this valuable work experience.

The Importance of Internships: A Student’s Perspective

by Lauren Guddahl

Have any of you ever gone without food?  What if I told you I knew someone, let’s call him Johnny, who was starving?  It’s a sad story and we would feel bad for Johnny.  But what if I also said he lived on a farm? Would you feel as bad for him?  Let me clarify that by no means is Johnny’s farm experiencing difficult times.  He’s just not capable of cultivating the land.  You might think: ‘What’s wrong with this guy?  He lives on a farm and still cannot get food for himself?’  You might even laugh.  This is a ridiculous notion.  But this is exactly what you are doing with your education if you do not take part in any professional development experiences prior to graduation.

Seems kind of harsh, doesn’t it?  But it’s true.  I have done an internship and a co-op and have become fascinated with the impact that it had for me on getting full time job offers.  I have spoken with coworkers and friends who have had internships, as well as recruiters, and they all say the same thing.  Do an internship.  The involvement makes graduates more marketable for full time job offers for many reasons.  Networking opportunities become available.  Second, there is an application of the knowledge learned in school.  Another reason to get an internship is to land a higher starting salary.  Finally, the experience gained is one of the most common things recruiters look for when hiring for a full time position.

You may be saying to yourself, these are all great things, but why is being more marketable to the job world so important?  I will tell you why.  Did you know that Chuck Raasch from USA Today has cited the unemployment rate at 8.5% for the Class of 2011in the article “Grim job prospects could scar today’s college graduates?”  That’s not too bad though, right?  You won’t be in that 8.5%.  But consider this: 19.1% of recent graduates are underemployed.  This means that they are working part time when they’d rather be working full time.  And another 40% or so of the lucky graduates who are working, are actually overqualified.  Meaning that the job they have really didn’t require a four year degree at all.  That’s about $160,000 at Riddle if you finish in four years.

In addition to the wonderful statistics I just mentioned, don’t forget that there are now larger numbers of students graduating from colleges and universities.  In a New York Times editorial, “The Class of 2012,” research has shown that salaries have steadily decreased 4.6% since 2007 for recent college graduates.  Adjusted for inflation, this is about $2000 per year.  Not to mention that finding a student with a good GPA isn’t as difficult as it might have once been due to this larger selection.  It’s OK though.  There is a way to appeal to employers once you graduate!  And you all can and should start now by applying to and accepting an internship.

You can begin by working with Career Services to find an internship or co-op that works for you.  According to Kristy Amburgey and Sally Richards from the Career Services Office, as of October, 57.1% of the Class of 2012 from Riddle found employment or decided to continue their education.  28.5% of these people had an internship or co-op experience.  Furthermore, on a national level, the Class of 2011 had a job offer rate greater than 61% for graduates who participated in paid internships at for-profit companies as stated by the National Association of Colleges and Employers in “The Class of 2011 Student Survey Report.”  If you’re still not convinced, you should also be aware that this report also found that the participants of professional education enhancements from the Class of 2011 had a 12.6% higher offer rate for full time jobs than their non-interning counterparts and an 11% higher offer rate for the Class of 2010.

You need to start now.  Especially if you’re a freshman!  When Dr. Cunningham was the Associate Vice President of Academics, he would speak at orientation every year to the incoming students.  His message was the same semester after semester and I never got tired of hearing it: “There are two things every student who comes in here should do: a study abroad and an internship.”  These words have stuck with me and I have particularly taken them to heart.  While the first is an experience in itself, the latter provides more professional development.

First off, networking is an essential part of the experience.  A friend of mine, Cody, had an internship with Continental Airlines in the Fall of 2011.  Through this, he was able to meet and connect with former F-14 and F-18 pilots as well as flight engineers on the P-3.  They later wrote him excellent recommendation letters for a flight slot with the Navy.  He is convinced that his connection from the internship is what secured him his slot.

Another friend of mine, Fred, did not have the best grades, but he was extremely passionate about what he was interested in.  He knew an internship was going to be extremely difficult for him to get since his GPA was low, so he got creative. He scheduled meetings with managers of small businesses just to express interest in the company and explain in person, after schmoozing managers, that while he didn’t have the best grades, he knew his stuff.  He was made four separate offers this way and even had a CEO specially create an intern position for him because he showed his determination.

This is all great.  You may be thinking, yes, an internship sounds like a great idea, but what about my four year plan?  Graduating in four years is not the most important thing!  In a long heart to heart with Dr. Gupta, one of the AE professors, I was told: “My friend, you come to school to get a job.  If you are being offered a job, you take a break from school for a little while and you take the job.  Just a little while.”  Getting hands on training is much more valuable than completing a degree in a set time frame.  Do not miss the internship/co-op experience because you will not graduate “on time.”  Employers would rather see real work experience!

I have turned a ten semester program into thirteen even though I started with a semester’s worth of credits.  However, I have a guaranteed job now once I am done with school.  I have done an internship and co-op and have had other job offers aside from the one I have accepted and I still have another year before I finish school.  I am 99.9% certain that had I not had my internship or co-op that I would not be in the position I am in now.

Envision yourself sitting in a first class seat of a 747 on a sixteen hour flight back from a weekend in Australia with a mimosa – if you’re old enough! – in your hand.  You paid $400 for the roundtrip first class ticket.  This was my reality less than four months ago because I was finishing my co-op with Continental/United Airlines.

Take a step back.  Or I should say a step forward!  It is one to three years from now and you are graduating.  Where will you be heading?  Were you successful here?  Do you know what you want to be?  I’ve got news for you: school is different than the real world!  I was convinced after my first semester here that I wanted to do something with CATIA as a career.  Naturally, I applied for CAD support internships and landed one for six months at MTU Aero Engines.  Working as a CAD support intern was nothing like what I thought it would be.  It was fun and I wouldn’t trade those few months for anything, but it is not a suitable career for me.  Had I not taken the internship, I may not have known that and might have ended up in a position where I was doing that as a full time employee with no hopes of leaving in a few months or so.  Applying what you learn in school to real work experiences helps ensure the “dream job” you want is really what you want.

Furthermore, GPA isn’t everything.  From a growing market, employers have a large selection to choose from. “I have a degree” no longer means “I have a job” like it once did.   I have a friend named Becca who graduated in May 2011 with a 4.0 and still has no job.  She has gone on several interviews and has not made the final cut because even though other applicants have lower GPAs, they have had experience from an internship or co-op.  Do you want to be like Becca?  Living with her parents after being away for school?  Depending on them for every penny and dime coming your way?  We all hopefully love our parents, but we have to draw the line somewhere.

With that being said, what would you do if someone gave you $66 every week?  66 bucks a week!  Just because… you had an internship?  On average, that is how much more you can be making with a starting salary if you have a professional development experience according to the “Impact of Internships on Salary Offers” from the NACE Class of 2011 statistics.  The Class of 2010 had it even better – NACE statistics state that they had overall offers $7000 higher than graduates who did not partake in internships.  I don’t know about you, but I could do a lot with another $66 a week being thrown my way.  Don’t just take my word on how beneficial an internship can be, though.  Get out there and speak to employers about job prospects for the future.

As I think I might have stated before, with the increasing difficulty it is to get a job, graduates need to have an edge over competitors to market themselves to employers.  This can be done by applying for internships. TODAY!  Right after I finish giving you these tips!  Half listen to me and pull out your laptops right now.  Do not put it off any longer!  EagleHire is a great place to start, but don’t limit yourself to Riddle resources.  Google internships.  Find a person who works at the company you want to work at and ask them about opportunities.

Then prepare for interviews. Career Services can help you by reviewing your resume or setting up mock interviews.  Make sure you’ve researched the companies you’re interested in working for – why do you want to work for them?  What sets them apart?  What can you bring to the company that would make you the ideal candidate?

Now get involved!  Go to networking events! Meet people and get your name out there.  Ask for e-mail addresses and follow up with them.  Hope they enjoy their Thanksgiving, wish them Happy New Year’s.  This is that person who might be able to help you get your foot in the door later down the line.  Get to know professors too.  An advisor of a club you’re in, a coach of a sport you play, or your boss for the minimum wage job you have right now.  They will be able to provide excellent references for you when the time comes.

Get an internship and you just might be able to look back and tell your friends how you got to go to Europe (or Australia) for a weekend! Or say how you got to work on parts for the F-18!  Or were given an exclusive VIP tour of the Rolls-Royce facilities in Indianapolis!  Or… well, I could probably go on for a while but I think you get the point.  Get an internship!

Lauren Guddahl is a graduate student in the Aerospace Engineering program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Daytona Beach campus. In fall 2010, Lauren Guddahl left the United States for Germany to complete an unforgettable engineering internship with MTU Aero Engines. During her time in Germany, she had the chance to learn the culture and the language while gaining new computer skills, exposure to the working world, and practical experience. This past fall, Lauren decided to complete a co-op, this time with United Continental Holdings, dba United Airlines as an Aircraft Structures Co-op. Both of these experiences have given Lauren knowledge and perspective that she would likely not otherwise possess, along with some great stories to share in future interviews. Read more about Lauren’s experiences in her Co-op/Internship Spotlight on the Going Places blog.

Education without Experience…Think Again!

by Sally Richards

Natalie Spencer at NASA Glenn Research Center

We tend to retain…

10% of what we hear

15% of what we see

20% of what we see and hear

40% of what we discuss

80% of what we EXPERIENCE

Co-op/Internship IS EXPERIENCE!

Experience is the best teacher. Most of us are familiar hearing this American idiom.  An internship experience combined with an excellent Embry-Riddle academic education makes for a first-rate candidate in any job market.

But you’ve been thinking about graduating without any practical work experience, without real world experience, without hands on experience. THINK AGAIN!

“I just want to graduate in 4 years.”

“I didn’t have time to apply to companies…I was so busy with my classes.”

“My parents just want me to finish school as soon as possible.”

“I just want to get out of school and start making money.”

“I’m tired of going to school and just want to start working in my field.”

Are you guilty of any of these thoughts?  Although these plans can make sense for some individuals, the plan to do an internship will prove to be more valuable. Don’t skip doing a co-op/internship because you’re in a rush to graduate.  You’re going to be out of college for most of your life.  If you graduate with less experience than your peers, your job search may be tougher and you might regret it.

The reality is, “Do you have an offer on the table for a full-time career opportunity when you graduate?”  If not, an internship experience will help you gain that competitive edge over other students when applying for full-time opportunities.

You already planned to spend 4 or 5+ years to earn your college degree.  Wouldn’t an additional 4 months of experiential education and time spent working with professionals in an industry/organization environment actually add an additional component to your value as a future candidate?  Wouldn’t the experience make you stand out from the crowd in the recruiting process?  You can see how academics and practical experience are intertwined.  You will understand concepts better from both perspectives, therefore making you a better student and a better employee.  Those few months of practical experience can favorably impact your classroom studies and future career since an internship experience will allow you to build your contact network and provide positive reinforcement.

Employers want to hire graduating students who have career-related work experience during college and experience that exposes them to professionalism and to how skills and ideas are applied in the real world. Think of it this way; you will already have a professional experience in industry and have the ability to work in a team environment towards a common goal.  Employers will see you have already made the transition from student to professional and will not have to start from the ground up.  You have already attained the next level and saved the company money in training costs.

When other graduating seniors are still having their resumes critiqued, and going through the “7 Steps to Use when Applying Online,” or attending Career Expo, just think, you may already have been hired by the company where you did an internship.  Now you can spend your last semester concentrating on achieving superior grades in your final classes and projects.

Do you have a dream job or dream company in mind that you want to work for?  By successfully completing an internship, you have just put yourself in a category above all other graduates with a similar academic skill set and diploma whether they are from Embry-Riddle, Purdue or FIT.  You have EXPERIENCE.  In an interview, you now have real industry projects and situations to talk about with that company’s hiring manager.

Participating in a Co-op or Internship experience can open doors to the world.  As an intern you may have the good fortune of attending meetings with the executive board…can you believe it?  A special benefit of your internship could include a connection to the decision makers of the company.  How else could you have gotten this opportunity as a college student if you were not participating in the company’s internship? You are getting experience in a corporate culture, building your network and making contacts with industry leaders, all important pieces to a successful career.

A former intern sums it up best. “The fundamentals and theories are important and essential for getting any position, but experience is also necessary.  While I am aware that most students do not want to postpone graduating a semester later than originally anticipated (I was one of those people not too long ago), it is completely worth it!  You go to school to get a job—if you’re being offered job experience while you are still in school—there is no reason to decline it.  I have many friends who were extremely successful in school, but they have graduated and cannot secure a job because they lack experience.  An internship gives you exactly that!”

If:  Education + Experience = Excellent Candidate; Then: Education + Internship = Success
