The first step to getting an internship is to CUP social media sites: Clean, Update, Prepare. It is important to CUP your social media sites because once the networking, application and interview process starts an increase in site-traffic will occur on the sites as they will be viewed and analyzed by potential employers.
To begin, clean up any posts, pictures and comments that you would not
want an employer seeing. The goal is not to hide who you are, but show that you
are a respectable, professional person. Next, update any information that might
be outdated. For example, update work history, education history, course content
and special skills. Make sure everything you want portrayed to your future employer is represented on your site. Finally, prepare for the job market by researching. It is important to understand what types of internships you would be interested in, if you have basic skills and knowledge to be an asset, and who are the core people you need to network with.
In all, the main thing that needs to be done before marketing yourself to prospective employers is to first make sure “the product” is presentable and crisp. Start molding your image in social media presence by remembering the acronym CUP: Clean, Update, Prepare.
