Final Thoughts
Try to write the sections in your own words. Otherwise, your description will be the same as
everyone else’s description. For example, instead of using the following words that are in this
document:
Excellent oral, written, and communication/presentation skills
You might consider saying
Strong communication and interpersonal skills OR
Ability to work well with diverse groups of people OR
Comfortable talking with and interacting with others
Remember that your job description is the place where you start, and it can be modified as
needed. Each Wingate University student will complete a Learning Contract, which will outline
what they want to learn from the work experience. This Learning Contract may modify the
original job description.
I hope that this document helps you as you begin thinking through how you will structure an
internship. Please let us know if you have questions.
