  <Title>VOLUNTEER INTERN - OIL AND GAS ANALYSIS</Title>
  <Tagline>Fall Opportunity with the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><strong>VOLUNTEER INTERN - OIL AND GAS ANALYSIS<br>
    Microeconomic Studies Division</strong><br><br>
    The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is a small nonpartisan agency that
     provides economic and budgetary analysis to the Congress. The 
    Microeconomic Studies Division seeks a volunteer intern to work at least
     16-20 hours per week at CBO during the fall semester to conduct an 
    analysis of federal oil and gas fiscal regimes. This division has 
    primary responsibility for analyzing a broad range of policy issues, 
    with an emphasis on the microeconomic foundations of the economy and on 
    the federal government's role as a regulator, manager of resources, and 
    provider of public goods. Its analytical areas include: agriculture, 
    commerce and trade, energy and natural resources, infrastructure, 
    including both transportation and telecommunications, and climate and 
    the environment. The division also examines the effects of prospective 
    legislation on the private sector and estimates the costs of mandates 
    imposed on the private sector.<br>
    <br>The intern will help in the collection and processing of data related to
     the leasing, exploration, development, and production of oil and gas in
     the United States. This and other available data will be used to 
    estimate the effect of differing royalty rates, regulations, and 
    permitting requirements on the probabilities that firms lease, develop, 
    or produce oil and gas. Under the guidance of a CBO analyst, the intern 
    will work with appropriate agencies to collect the necessary data and 
    assist with data analysis.<br>
    <br><strong>Qualifications</strong><br>
    Candidates should be working towards a graduate degree in economics, 
    public policy, or a related field, although current undergraduate 
    seniors with excellent quantitative skills and prior research experience
     may be considered. Candidates must be detail oriented and proficient in
     Excel and/or MS Access; proficiency with STATA is preferred but not 
    required. Prior experience working with large data sets and familiarity 
    with oil and gas development is a plus. This position also requires a 
    person with strong communication and organizational skills who can work 
    independently and as a part of a team. Although this is a fall 
    internship, it may be possible to extend through the spring semester.<br>
    <br>Unpaid internships can only be offered to students whose universities 
    sponsor internships with federal agencies. Such sponsorship does not 
    require the student to receive compensation from the university, nor 
    does it require the university to offer class credit for the internship.
     The university must be willing to complete CBO’s sponsorship form 
    stating that it is sponsoring the student for an unpaid internship at 
    CBO which will be of educational benefit to the participant. Students 
    must verify for themselves that their university is willing to sponsor 
    the internship before applying but will only be required to submit the 
    sponsorship form if the student is offered an internship.<br>
    <br><strong>How to Apply</strong><br>
    Please submit a cover letter, résumé, unofficial transcripts, and 
    contact information for two references online at 
    <a href="https://www.cbo.gov/careers" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://www.cbo.gov/careers</a>. This position is not covered by the 
    Veterans Employment Opportunities Act.<br>

Use of this tool had reached the point where the once somewhat useful status updates section had become nothing more than a TweetDeck column where your LinkedIn contacts tweets could be found.</span></p><p><span>Now that the LinkedIn site is back to what it was intended to be, a powerful networking site where the benefits of social meet the needs of the professional, we can refocus our effort on how to maximize this platform.</span></p><p><span>There still seems to be some confusion on how to use LinkedIn, however;  and while filling your contacts world up with Tweets is no longer a LinkedIn option, there are still several basic tenets of using LinkedIn that seem to go ignored.</span></p><p><span><strong>More than anything, LinkedIn isn’t Facebook</strong>, it isn’t Twitter or any other Social Network for that matter. It is the most useful network on the planet for professionals and companies looking to hire the best talent, find key customer contacts, or network for strategic partners or groups. And if you want the other pros on LinkedIn to take you seriously, you need to avoid certain behaviors; some of which are perfectly acceptable on other social networks.</span></p><p><span>So for best results, <strong>here are 6 social networking practices you should <em>not</em> to do on LinkedIn</strong>…<br></span></p><h2><span>Frequent Status Updates</span></h2><p><span>People don’t check LinkedIn nearly as often as Facebook or most other Social Networks for that matter. So I recommend that statuses are updated no more than once or twice a day. This is more for your benefit than for your network. If you change too frequently few members of your network will see your updates. So oversimplify here and focus on sharing much less frequently, but try to find highly interesting content that your connections will benefit from.</span></p><h2><span>Connection Spamming</span></h2><p><span>I know you may want to be a first level connection with Mark Zuckerberg or Tim Cook, however random connection requests here are generally not looked upon fondly. If you are looking to grow connections and you don’t care who they are I have two quick pieces of advice. 1. join a LinkedIn Open Network Group (LION) and 2. you are doing it wrong.</span></p><p><span>Collecting connections is kind of like collecting twitter followers. If they aren’t interested in you, your product, or your service then the connection may not hold much value. (Disclaimer: I know not everyone agrees with this, but unless you are in MLM or something like that, open networking may do nothing more than increase your connection stats) However, with LinkedIn’s ability to show you your 2nd and 3rd level connections, the best way to connect out of the blue is a referral using the introduction request.</span></p><p><span>And if you really want to give it a go and connect to those you have no relationship with, at the very least include a little note saying why you want to connect and how it may be mutually beneficial.</span></p><h2><span>Profile Picture Faux Pas</span></h2><p><span>First of all, there is no excuse anymore for not having a profile picture. That in itself is a faux pas. However, worse than no pic are those that put their Friday night bender pics at the bar up as their profile pic. Worse yet, the kissing the girlfriend pictures or the can’t find my shirt picture. Nevertheless, this is a “Professional” networking site so while I can’t shame the start up CEO for taking a picture in his favorite T-shirt, I may recommend just for this one picture that you put on a collar, and a quality smile.</span></p><h2><span>Personal Updates</span></h2><p><span>Facebook is a great place to talk about your weekend adventures or great meals out. On Pinterest you can pin the picture of your dinner and you can tweet about it to your followers. On LinkedIn the updates should be professional in nature. So unless it personally has to do with a career change, a published article, or perhaps some good news about your company, LinkedIn isn’t the place for it.</span></p><h2><span>Spammy Selling</span></h2><p><span>There is no better way to annoy your network than to spam your groups and/or connections with an un-targeted sales promotion. I have connections offering promotional products, mobile web development, and financial services on a daily basis. I find these to be incredibly annoying. I do think that using in-mail and very targeted communications can be extremely effective on LinkedIn and that is a much better way to leverage the platform.</span></p><h2><span>Inaccurate Information</span></h2><p><span>Just like Spammy Selling, I don’t recommend this on any platform. I always suggest that people treat LinkedIn just like a resume. While it may or may not be official, you can assume that others view it that way. So if you put it on LinkedIn you should try and make sure it is accurate and can be verified.</span></p><p><span>Just like Facebook, Twitter, and now Pinterest, LinkedIn is a great Social Network. However, we have to remember it is a “Professional” network and to achieve best results we must use it that way.</span></p><p><span>How do you maximize your results with LinkedIn? Are there other irritating behaviors on LinkedIn that you often see? Continue the conversation in the Comments section below.</span></p><p><br></p><p>For this <a href="http://millennialceo.com/social-media/6-quit-linkedin/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">post</a>, YouTern Thanks our friends at Millennial CEO!</p><p><a href="http://www.millennialceo.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img src="http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Millennial-CEO.png" alt="" width="250" height="29" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a></p><p><strong><a href="http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Daniel_Author.jpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img src="http://www.youtern.com/thesavvyintern/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Daniel_Author.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="110" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a>About the Author:</strong> <em>Daniel Newman is the CEO of United Visual Inc; parent company to United Visual Systems, United Visual Productions, and United GlobalComm.

  <Title>Add your Internship or Research Position to your Transcript</Title>
  <Tagline>Fall Deadline for Undergraduates- October 3rd</Tagline>

    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Have you obtained a great internship or research opportunity for the Fall 2012 semester, but have no idea how to get credit for it?  Are you simply looking to have it noted on your transcript for that all-important Grad School or employment <br>application?  <div><div><br><span>Never fear - The Shriver Center is here to help!<br><br></span>Your
     position is important to obtain admission to graduate school and to 
    find employment after graduation. In addition to that experience and 
    possibly earning pay, you can also get your internship or research noted
     on your transcript which will help you stand out from the competition 
    when applying for post-graduation jobs and graduate study.  However you 
    must act fast because the deadline to add is October 3rd for Undergrads.<br><br>Many students can also 
    potentially obtain three upper level credits by interning only 10 to 12 
    hours per week. Specific requirements vary, please email us directly 
    with specific questions or make an appointment with the Shriver Center 
    to determine whether you qualify.<br><br>Information on this process is also available at: <a href="http://shrivercenter.umbc.edu/students/internco-opresearch/student-practicum/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://shrivercenter.umbc.edu/students/internco-opresearch/student-practicum/<br></a><br>The
     Shriver Center is open 8:30-5:00, Monday-Friday. Please call 
    410-455-2493  to schedule an appointment with an Intern Coordinator.<br><br>If you are looking for a position, there are still many opportunities available in UMBCworks.  Log in today or

  <Title>Intern for the US Department of State</Title>
  <Tagline>Open to Undergraduates and Graduate Students</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p><strong>Announcing the U.S. Department of State Student Experience 
    Program (formerly known as the U.S. Department of State Internship 
    Program).</strong></p>
    <p>This program offers U.S. citizen undergraduate and graduate students 
    the opportunity to participate in 10-week, unpaid internships that 
    provide intensive educational and professional experience within the 
    environment of America’s principle foreign affairs agency.</p>
    <p>The unpaid internships are available at many of the over 265 U.S. 
    embassies, consulates and missions to international organizations around
     the world, as well as at the Department of State in Washington, D.C. 
    and other locations throughout the U.S.  Participants gain first-hand, 
    hands-on experience, and learn the realities of working in – and with – 
    Foreign and Civil Service professionals who are at the forefront of 
    America’s diplomatic efforts.</p>
    <p>As a Student Experience intern, you may have the opportunity to:</p>
    <ul><li> Participate in meetings with senior level U.S. government or foreign government officials;</li><li> Draft, edit, or contribute to cables, reports, communications, 
    talking points, or other materials used by policy makers in furthering 
    U.S. foreign policy objectives;</li><li> Help organize and support events, including international and/or 
    multi-lateral meetings and conferences on critical global issues; </li><li> Contribute to the management and administration of the Department of State and America’s foreign policy; and </li><li> Engage directly with U.S. or foreign audiences to promote U.S. 
    foreign policy and improve understanding of U.S. culture and society.</li></ul>
    <p>So consider spending your summer 2013 with the U.S. Department of 
    State, witnessing and participating in the formulation and 
    implementation of U.S. foreign policy, working closely with the U.S. 
    diplomats and civil servants who carry out America’s foreign policy 
    initiatives.  You’ll not only have an experience of a lifetime, you may 
    even earn educational credit.<span><strong>*</strong></span></p>
    <p><span><strong>*</strong></span> <span>Applicants
     who are selected for a U.S. Department of State Student Experience can 
    contact the selecting bureau, or the central Student Programs office, if
     they require further details about the program to support their request
     for academic credit.</span></p>
