Internship Advisor Marie Spaulding
 mspauld@american.edu
Marie has been with the Career Center since 1987. As Internship Advisor for CAS and SOC, she helps students, in majors ranging from anthropology to visual media, to find challenging positions that will qualify for academic credit. She advises on résumé design, interview techniques, networking, job search strategies, and career planning. Marie also interprets the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, a personality instrument which can help you better understand who you are. As she interacts with students, she draws upon her diverse past work experience in elementary school teaching, social work, city planning, arts administration, and fundraising. She looks forward to meeting you!
