Re: Internship Opportunity in Sterling Heights, Michigan

Taking my BAE hat off for a moment:

As an applicant, consider the list of items a "want" list. A job poster may say it is a "requirement", but in reality it is often a want or desire. Seldom can an applicant be found that meets every single detail within the grade they are asking for. My recommendation is to apply and let the recruiter sort out whether or not you meet the needs. Worst case scenario, you are not accepted and wasted the time of the application, which in the grand scheme of things is not a big waste.

As an applicant, it is your responsibility to just be truthful about your skills and qualificiations. If you are enrolled to attend LTU in the Fall, then just be certain to say so. If you "do not meet requirements", you can often try to talk up other aspects of your personal experience in a cavoer letter (again, more work, but often well worth it). For instance, if I was HS grad going for this job, I would have a paragraph about the design and engineering experience I got through Projects that might be relevant. With a cover letter, keep it to just a few paragraphs. Why you want the job, What you have to offer, Why you think you would be a good fit...
