Blogroll: LaEbony Livingston Takes D.C.

One goal of this blog is to create a useful blogroll (collection of links to other blogs, etc.), concentrating on links of interest to career services, student and alumni jobseekers, and the university community. Here’s one link I will include, but which also deserves special focus. FIU alumna LaEbony Livingston (B.A.in Political Science/International Relations, 2012) worked with us in the Career Services Office on the Maidique campus where she maintained the front desk, looked at resumes, and a host of other “as needed” duties for the office. She recently left us to start her internship in the District of Columbia.

If you are at all interested in what it’s like to have an internship, take a look at her blog: How to Survive on an Unpaid Internship in D.C.

Congratulations, LaEbony!
