I'm a new EE transfer student with (roughly) Jr level status, although most of the classes I'm taking now are 2nd semester Soph-level. I've been at school for just 2 weeks now, but I'm already getting emails from the Career Office about upcoming interviews for summer internships. It all feels a bit rushed, really...and I have no idea what I'm doing, since I've never held a non-retail job in my life and don't feel like I have the experience yet to make a great impression. I'm barely getting adjusted to the new school, but I definitely don't want to miss out on any opportunities for next summer.
I've already decided that a summer internship is a must, but I'm not sure about interviewing for positions this early. Most interviews are late September / early October, with the Career Fair in late Sept; but I have to reserve interview times within the next week. Should I be jumping in this early? What can I do to prepare myself for the first real interview of my life? I'm absolutely terrible at talking with strangers...so the thought of a serious interview already has me sweating bullets. Any advice?
