Admittedly, one of the most anxiety-inducing components of your internship hunt is the interview. If your resume stands out, so should you.

In our never-ending quest to supply you with as much information as possible to get you over the hump, we've asked Cari Lucks, Human Resources Manager at McCann Erickson in New York for five questions she might ask an intern, and per her recommendation, you should be prepared to answer these (or questions like them) in your interview:

1. Why are you interested in this industry?

2. What have you been doing in school, beside classes, that are preparing you for this industry?

3. Tell me about a time you worked in a group setting and someone wasn't pulling their weight. What did you do/say?

4. What, within this industry, are you wanting to learn more about and what have you done already to learn about it?

5. What keeps you fresh?

Check back soon. I'll tell you what not to say.
