AKAMAI Internship Application: General Internship Questions

Feel free to download a copy of this document to help you draft your responses prior to accessing the online application.

**This document is a tool to help you draft the narrative responses to some of the open-ended questions asked on the Akamai application (not all questions are listed--there are many other questions) The suggested response length is 30-100 words, unless stated otherwise. Responses to general questions are an opportunity to clearly explain your qualifications and demonstrate your strengths as a potential intern to the selection committee. General questions are weighed along with reference reports and transcripts by the selection committee to evaluate your application in its entirety.**

Tip: You might want to share a draft of some or all of your responses to these questions with your reference report writers, so that they know more about your background and interests.

  1. Please briefly describe any programs or work experience you have had at an observatory or tech company, including name of observatory or company.

  1. Please review the Akamai Project Examples page and tell us which projects are most appealing to you and why (projects are grouped by field of discipline and interest).
  2. Suggested response length: Approximately 100-200 words.

  1. Please describe your career interests and your education goals (AA/AS, BA/BS, MA/MS, PhD and field of study).

  1. Do you have any additional skills or specific experience not mentioned in the Skill section that you would like to share?

  1. (Optional) Please discuss anything else you feel the selection committee should know or consider, that you have not been able to share in other sections of the application.
