With externship season approaching, many audiology students have their eyes on specific positions and are considering how to best make their applications stand out. Your resume and interview are two key opportunities to tell prospective employers about yourself and what you would bring to the role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also include volunteer experience and extracurricular activities, such as hearing screenings, community events, conferences and trainings\u2014these show your willingness to go above and beyond and offer insight into your personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can prepare by conducting mock interviews with classmates and researching the clinic you\u2019re meeting with.
