How to Land an
Internship
WHAT: Internship Program

provide attendees with
information on internships and
internship resources on campus.
WHO: Department of Psychology
WHEN: 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.
WHERE: East Hall, Room 1866
Whether you are applying for
your first summer job or a high-
stakes professional career, job
interviews are often the most
frightful part of the entire hiring
process.
LSA
senior
Krysten
Dorfman is one of countless
job-seekers who has felt this
nervousness
when
seeking
employment opportunities.
“You’re coming in and talking
to someone who’s a stranger and
you don’t know who they are,
they don’t know who you are,”
Dorfman said. “I feel like there’s a
lot of pressure to present yourself
really well, really quickly and
really efficiently.”
For those suffering from social
anxiety, however, job interviews
are more than just a brief bout of
stomach-churning nerves — they
are excessive triggers of fear and
self-consciousness and can often
lead to a total avoidance of crucial
interviews.
Joseph Himle, professor of
social
work
and
psychology,
researches mental health and
social anxiety and, specifically,
how social ability functions in
today’s workforce and economy.
According to a recent article
published
by
University
of
Michigan Research, Himle’s
research led him to a project
in Detroit, where he helped
unemployed
adults
who
experience social anxiety both
manage their symptoms and
find resources for employment.
What
Himle
has
found,
however, is that the effects
of
social
anxiety
usually
become relevant before the
job
interviews
themselves,
and remain present long after
employment begins.
“It interferes with asking for
job leads, certainly can interfere
with going to an interview, or
how you do an interview, but it
can also cause you problems once
you get to work,” Himle said in
an interview with the Daily. “It
can cause you problems when
you talk to your supervisors
or co-workers, and sometimes
you don’t build relationships or
your supervisor doesn’t know
what you’re doing well and what
you’re not doing so well.”
LSA senior Victoria Rai is
a member of Alpha Kappa Psi
professional business fraternity,
where she assists in interviewing
incoming
pledge
members
and providing feedback on
their interviews. When one
of her family members, who
experiences several symptoms
of social anxiety, was preparing
for an interview, Rai said she
was able to use her experience
from Alpha Kappa Psi as well as

More than 400 party-goers
and volunteers danced the
night away this Friday during
the Night to Shine special
needs prom at Ann Arbor’s 2|42
Community Church.
Sponsored by the Tim Tebow
Foundation, an organization set
up by the professional athlete,
the annual event is held all
across the world so people with
special needs can experience the
excitement of prom night in a
safe, judgment-free environment.
According to the foundation’s
website, any person with special
needs over the age of 14 can
attend and are allowed to bring
guests.
2|42 has hosted the party
for three years at their Brighton
location, but this was the first
year it was also held in Ann
Arbor.
This was Ann Arbor resident
Kylee Claey’s first year as head
organizer for the event, but she
drew a large crowd by going to
all the high schools and special
needs centers in Ann Arbor to
spread the word. She told MLive
the event was all about letting
attendees be themselves.
“Everyone just gets to do
their own thing and it allows
them to be themselves in just a
royal way,” Claeys said.
The night began with
each guest receiving the royal
treatment — everyone was given
a crown as they walked into
the party through a tunnel of
cheering volunteers. Dinner was
served, and the guests danced for
the rest of the time.
Last year’s head organizer,
Julie Davis, also told MLive the
event is important because it
shows an often-overlooked group
of people that they are valued in
the community, and that there is
a place for them.
“I think it’s a community of
people who have a lot to offer
who often get overlooked,” Davis
sad. “The idea is to make them
feel like the kings and queens
that they are. So just let them
have a night that’s all about them
and not the stereotypes and
stigma.”
