so i am a senior at Stony Brook University (biochemistry major, premed) and i just got an email from the director of student affairs about an Estee Lauder internship program that my university has. apprarently, many chemistry majors have participated in this internship and estee lauder has given them fulltime corporate jobs upon graduation. i pretty much shit my pants when i saw the title of the email "Estee Lauder Internship Fall 2007 - call for applications". so as im reading the application i get more and more excited because this is exactly what i want to do with my degree! i want to work for EL labs and help develop new formulations of cosmetics. So i fit every criteria to the T - at least 69 credits, a 3.0 GPA, letters of Reccomendation and a personal mission statement about your career goals and why this internship is part of that goal. the internship would have me working 1 or 2 days a week in their labs in Melville, Long Island (a half hour off campus). E.L pays its interns $10/hr and i get 6 credits for the semester for taking the internship.
the only thing keeping me from applying is the following:
All applicants MUST be free 830am to 5pm the day(s) they are to work in the labs.
im really upset because i am trying to graduate on time (may 2008), so my schedule for Fall (which i made back in April) is chock filled, where i have at least one class everyday. i cant take out any of the classes because i need them all in sequence to get everything done by May. IM SO UPSET. i just wrote a long email to the director of student affairs (who sent out the email) asking if there was any way we can make this work, or if the internship will be available for the winter semester, spring semester or summer, and if i can apply for the position once i graduate, or if once i graduate in May that the opportunity will be closed out to me. i also explained to her that this is the exact career path that i want to take and how extremely interested i am in the postion.
i dont know. what do you guys think about the internship?
