Dear Buffy,
I am currently a freshman in the UMass-Amherst, looking to major in Sport Management. I live near Boston, MA and looking for an internship for this upcoming summer. I saw that the Boston Celtics are holding a job fair. Do you think it would be worth it for a student, like me, to attend this job fair, even though I am looking for an internship for the summer? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,Freshman
Dear Freshman,
The career fairs are an excellent place to go to find local internships. They often have many sports organizations and affiliated sport organizations there seeking young talent. Make sure you present yourself well, be enthusiastic that you'll do whatever they need done during the internship. Then follow up by email, snail mail and by phone. (There are still some of us that prefer the old-fashioned snail mail and phone.)
