Resources for Undergraduate Students

Ready to explore your career and internship options? Discover resources that will lead you towards an internship or job? Connect with employers?

Many great internship experiences exist for students of French & Italian. Students in world languages are encouraged to take advantage of any opportunity which will increase their chances of success in a dynamic professional environment. More information is available through the Advanced Language Institute in the Center for Languages, Literatures, & Cultures. Other options are also on offer through the Office of Student Life. Students should consult their Academic and Faculty Advisors to identify specific opportunities and discuss what options are best for them, their programs, and career goals.

The Arts and Sciences Center for Career and Professional Success (Career Success) can help guide you toward these goals. More than resumes, Career Success provides a number of internship and job search resources including career coaching, assistance with the Ohio State University's online career network and database Handshake, and resume and cover letter review. Career Success also hosts exciting events that help you build your network, discover new career paths, and become career ready!

Use Handshake to connect with employers by searching for full-time employment, internships, part-time work, and other experiential learning opportunities targeted toward your major. This is a direct link to employers who want to hire you! No registration is required to access Handshake; all current undergraduates and recent graduates can access using their OSU credentials on the Handshake website.

PC's/Windows:

Using Microsoft Word, you may use the CONTROL key in combination with other keys to create accent marks. For each of the accents below, press the combination of keys indicated for the accent mark; then press the letter which is to be accented. (Note: nothing appears on the screen in the first step; it is only after the second step—when you type the letter itself—that the accented letter will appear.)

Example é: CONTROL + ' then e

accent aigu:

CONTROL + ' (apostrophe)

accent grave:

CONTROL + ` (accent grave)

accent circonflexe:

CONTROL + ^ (SHIFT-6)

tréma:

CONTROL + : (colon)

cédille:

CONTROL + , (comma)

This is the easiest way to make accents. However, you may also use the "Symbol" feature (pull down the menu and click on the appropriate symbol), or the ALT key in combination with the appropriate code number for each accent. To do this:

Make sure that 'Num Lock' is on
Use the keypad on the right of the keyboard
While holding down the 'Alt' key, enter the 4-digit code for the desired symbol.

N.B.: Newer PC's may have keyboard short cuts for these symbols; check your manual. With some computers/software, there is also the possibility of switching to a French keyboard configuration.
