Applying to dietetic internships through DICAS can be challenging. We have a webinar explaining common DICAS mistakes so you can land the DI of your dreams!
Ever wonder if you’re doing this DICAS thing all wrong?
Well after reviewing thousands of applications myself, I can tell you that YES, you are probably doing something wrong! There have been so many common DICAS mistakes that I’ve seen applicants make over the years, and I want you to know at least SOME of them before you dive into this process.
Are there more than what I talk about in this video?
There sure are! And that’s not to scare you. It is to make you understand that this process is intense and requires a lot of hard work and knowledge and support from experts that have done it. You certainly don’t have to go through this process alone!
Have you ever applied successfully to a dietetic internship before?
Of course not. That’s why you’re reading this 🙂 And that’s also why it is important to be coached on this process. Creating your best application can lead to a happy and successful Match Day.
And if you are making these mistakes already, it is likely you are making others and would greatly benefit from our Get Matched Course or Coaching, too. (We’ve never had a client that we couldn’t drastically help!)
In conclusion the 10 most common DICAS mistakes include:
- Applying to the wrong programs
- The personal statement lacks a central theme
- The resume has too much…or not enough
- Your personal statement repeats what is on the resume
- You forget to sell yourself and your strengths
- The weakness paragraph is too long
- Your goals are boring
- You don’t explain why the DI is a good fit
- Proper DICAS instructions aren’t being followed
- You don’t practice interview questions outloud
Now you know the common mistakes to avoid so log back into DICAS and PERFECT your application!
P.S. You don’t have to go through this alone. Visit the GET MATCHED page to learn about our course and coaching.
