I've done 4 summer internships and will soon have a PoliSci MA.?
Write a professional-looking resume that details activities related to your major. Be sure to include any related volunteer or group efforts (detailing your role in the group.) Do not puff your accomplishments, but do mention any academic awards or achievements. Mention that you are looking to begin your career and, as such, salary is not a major issue. Once you receive an invitation for an interview, first, know everything in your resume and, second, practice interview techniques with mature friends who have been through the interview process themselves. Prepare questions that you would like to ask them, but avoid those that mention salary, benefits, or What can the company do for me? interrogatories. Finally, if granted an interview, be sure to follow up with a thank you note.
