Each year 60-70 students serve others by participating in internships in Bloomington, in their home towns, and around the world. Most of our interns work in non-profit agencies and do not receive a salary. All of our interns write journals reflecting on what they are learning and receive guidance from their site supervisors and their faculty supervisors. They work at hospitals, camps, crisis centers, non-profits, businesses and government agencies providing invaluable services and at the same time fulfilling a requirement for their degree. Applied Health Science interns carry the mission of our department in a very tangible way to the people of Indiana, the nation, and the world (see Current Internship Lists).

Resumes

Optimal Resume is a state of the art resume tool. Use it to create or refine your resume. Optimal also has a suite of career tools for cover letters, interview preparation, and a personal website builder.

The HPER Resume Wizard is a tool to get you started with your resume. The Wizard will format your information into a Microsoft Word document which you may then save and edit. Note: We highly recommend you further develop your resume with an academic or career advisor or instructor before applying for positions.

Internship & Job Search

The HPER Internship Directory lists internships that HPER students have completed for credit in their majors.  It will continue to grow as more students evaluate their HPER internships.

The HPER Career Website lists jobs and internships that employers or faculty have reported.  It is a full service career website where you can post your resume and search for jobs and internships. Please register and keep your profile up to date each semester.

Alumni are very useful sources for internships and networking. To search for alumni who may be able to help you, go to the IU Alumni Directory. You can do an “advanced search” and look for alumni by city, school, degree. The alums’ profiles often include their employers and their job titles, which might be useful for you. Also, for a printed directory of AHS alumni, stop by the AHS Career Services at 309 N. Woodlawn Ave.
