Hello. My name is Justine Lopez and I’m a senior at Pace majoring in Political Science. I’m interested in a
career in government and just completed an internship with the Mayor’s Office. I have solid communications,
interpersonal and administrative skills. I work well both independently and as part of a team. I’ve heard about
your training programs and would like to know more about the type of experience you provide for interns.

My name is Matthew Johnson and I am a first-year graduate student at Pace University, studying finance.
I’ve had experience as a Financial Services intern overseas, and have a very solid academic record. I’m a
person who adapts well to new situations, as evidenced by my choice to attend graduate school abroad,
and I have a very strong work ethic. I’m committed to developing my career in Finance. Can you please tell
me about Finance internship opportunities available in your company?

My name is Harry Jones and I’m a junior at Pace University majoring in accounting. I’ve spent my past few
summers working in a law office and now want to focus on an internship in accounting. I noticed that most of
your accounting internships require strong analytical and organizational skills, two areas in which I excel. I
also have extensive experience using Microsoft Office, especially when it comes to creating and manipulating
spreadsheets in Excel. Could you tell me more about your opportunities for accounting internships and the
best way to pursue an internship at your company?

Hello. My name is Ashley Miller and I’m a sophomore at Pace University. I’m very interested in a career in
communications. I’ve had the opportunity to complete a number of communications projects in my
coursework, including one where I led a team of four classmates in designing and implementing a social
media campaign for a new Pace student group. As a result of our campaign, their membership increased by
65% in just two weeks. I’ve heard about the quality experience communications interns gain at your
company, and am wondering about the internship opportunities available with you now.
