Resources For Alumni

Interested in hiring a Bruin? Attract the best talent for your internships with these Top 5 Tips.

1. Read your Job Description with a student’s perspective. Are you sharing the learning outcomes? What new experience are you offering? What skills will they develop? Is your pay competitive? If you’re not offering pay, what will they gain from this experience? Does the internship sound interesting or worth their time?

2. Connect with an Internship Alumni Network Board member. If you have questions about the internship experience, talk with one of our board members to discuss. We are here to help you make your internship successful.

3. Utilize UCLA ONE to post your position. Your intern should feel that they’ve learned about your industry, company, and role during their time with you. Give them work that is valuable to you, but also take the time to share their impact.

4. Prioritize learning over tasks. Post your position on this free UCLA resource for students and alumni. Once you post your position, share on the Feed that you are looking for a Bruin intern.

5. Feedback should be consistent. Giving and receiving feedback is key to a successful internship. Set aside time regularly to discuss highs and lows, and share constructive feedback.
