Reviewing and Ranking Resumes
Provide a student with 20 resumes and a job description and have them review each one and rank their top 10 based off their qualifications for the job. Once ranked, the student will provide justification for why they ranked them where they did.
Job Specifications Review
Let a student review your existing job specifications for ten positions or new roles. The student should research the job descriptions for similar jobs as used by other companies and identify best practices and ways for us to create or improve our job requirements.
Job Board Support & Evaluation
Let a student create and manage postings for five open positions using various job boards. This includes promoting our postings on social media (industry, department, and geographic focused), evaluating effectiveness of various methods, and initial screens of candidate information based upon pre-defined metrics.
Sourcing Candidates
Provide a student with a job description and have them identify 25 candidates they think would be good for the position. Once identified, they will provide a brief justification as to why they selected these specific candidates, as well as potential conversation starters you might have for each based on their background and work experience.
Diversity Best Practices
Assist in the development of a diversity best practices manual. Identify between 10 and 20 thoughtful articles that highlight the importance of diversity in organizations, best practices, and challenges when best practices are not implemented. Summarize key points across the articles in a single document.
Community Relations
Help create and maintain a positive presence with the client's local communities. This may include drafting content for local publications and social media, event planning, and/or strategic outreach.
Data Clean-Up
Cleanse a provided data set including removing duplicates, updating outdated records, and ensuring there is consistent formatting. In addition, ensure data quality by verifying its integrity and ensure its completeness is maintained and/or enhanced.

How it Works
Let's Solve Water
At Xylem, we're focused on solving global water challenges and helping create the next generation of water and sustainability leaders. The world has the opportunity of a lifetime
Here's how:
Micro-Internships are short-term, professional assignments that are similar to those given to recent college grads or interns. Beyond providing you with immediate support, they also complement Xylem's campus recruiting program and provide alternative pathways to professional roles in our organization.
These remote, flexible, paid projects also enable diverse early-career candidates (including first-generation college students, student-athletes, and even professionals working while completing their degrees) to participate, even when our standard internship doesn't fit into their existing commitments.
