“Hello! Nice to meet you. My name is Michelle. I’m a student at University of Phoenix, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. In that time, I’ve developed the groundwork for my dream of running a business. That includes everything from communication and leadership skills to the nitty-gritty of management and finance. That said, I have a lot to learn and would appreciate the opportunity to explore internship opportunities at your company so I can further develop those skills. Here’s my card!”

“Hello, my name is John Rogers. I’m a sophomore at the University of South Florida who’s interested in state-of-the-art applications in the Information Technology major. I’m interested in expanding beyond my academic background in the field of mobile applications for a graduate degree in Applied Informatics. My current formation in information sharing and online collaboration would be a perfect start to further grow as a mobile application developer with your company. Thank you in advance for sharing information with me on your internship opportunities. Would you be able to share with me what your latest findings in terms of mobile application development are? I would be highly interested in learning more.”

“Hi, my name is Patrick, and I’m really excited to be speaking with you today about the position. A little bit about me: I graduated in 2019 with a degree in health administration. That degree prepared me with many of the management, leadership and financial skills I’ve used in my post-college work. That includes two years at a local hospital, where I helped manage patient records and ensured quality healthcare administration. That was a great experience, but I’m looking to grow more in this field. That’s why I’m excited to talk with you today about this position. Can you tell me a bit more about what you’re looking for in a potential candidate?”

“Hi, my name is Travis, and I hate having to wait on cabs. Have you ever had trouble getting a cab in this town? A few years ago, I was going to a party, standing on the curb, trying to hail a cab in the rain, my nice suit getting soaked. It was dreadful. There I was, with hundreds of drivers passing me by, but no cabs. A few of my friends and I created a service app that helps people find a ride from people going in the same direction as they are. The app lets you find someone to carpool with and allows you to help pay the driver for petrol as a thank you. We're raising our startup capital, and from the number of sign-ups from drivers and riders, I think this is going to be a huge company in a few years. You seem to fit our investor profile, and I'd love to talk more. Do you have a card?”
