Sample Phone Conversation Student: Hello, may I speak with Mr./Ms. ..., the Manager. (or ask for Human Resources) My name is I am calling to inquire about a possible Job Shadow visit. Job Shadowing is a part of the Troy Tech Program. The purpose is to learn about careers and prepare for an Internship experience. Thank you for this opportunity. What is your address? Are there any special instructions regarding parking or check in when I arrive? My cell phone number and/or email address is in case there any changes to the Job Shadow visit date and time.

Sample Email Hi. My name is .. I am going to be a senior in the Troy Tech Magnet Program at Troy High School and I am looking for a summer internship. I am very interested in considering a career in your field. The Troy Tech Internship Program is 150 volunteer hours; the students earn school credit for the experience. The program begins the week of May 30, 2017 and continues until the hours are completed - no later than July 19, 2017. Students volunteer for 20-40 hours each week as arranged by the mentor. I have attached my resume. If you have or know of a colleague who would have an internship opportunity, please let me know. Thank you. Notes: Be sure to check your email. For research internships, you should take the time to review the professor s research summary online. In your first email, explain how your interests connect to the research. Do NOT email emeritus professors; this means they have retired and are not actively researching. After sending the above email, wait a week and then send a follow up. Reply all so that your original message is included. I wanted to follow up on my original email. I am actively looking for internship placements and wanted to know if your site would be a possibility. Thank you so much for your time.
