Case Study: Assume that earlier today you interviewed for a competitive summer internship (internship posting). Your contact person, Carla Ruiz, an assistant manager and director of the internship program, was in the reception area when you arrived. Carla greeted you and led you to a conference room where you met Andre Moore and Toby Smith, who were also assistant managers. During the next hour, you learned that the internship would give you a wide breadth of experience at the company by helping with several projects in three different departments while regular employees are on vacation. Your interview concluded just before lunch, and although it wasn't planned as part of your interview experience, Andre and Toby invited you to have lunch with them. Carla had a lunch meeting with a client. During lunch, Andre and Toby shared their insights about the company and, in response to your request for career advice, talked at length about graduate school and professional development options. You thanked Toby when he paid for your lunch.

As you reflect on the interview and lunch, you realize the internship will require good time management and prioritization skills to balance the many projects and needs of different departments. Your skills in these areas are very strong, and you regret that you forgot to emphasize that during your interview. However, you decide you can work them into your thank-you messages to Carla, Andre, and Toby. Compose unique thank-you messages to each person, carefully evaluate your messages, and submit your documents.
