JOB PLACEMENT PREFERENCES

To help us recommend the best possible host matches for those candidates who are selected as Finalists, we want to know a bit more about what types of work would interest you this summer. Your responses in this section are not shared with our Host Institutions. Within the aerospace community, there are many disciplines and many types of job. You may be passionate about some, curious about others, and uninterested in still others. Please let us know which of these disciplines are interesting enough to you that you'd be open to spending a full summer working in that field.

HOST MATCHING

Please indicate which of our Host Institutions appeal to you the most. Please keep in mind that you will be considered for matches with all of our hosts, not just the ones you indicate—and indeed, some of our greatest success stories have come from Fellows paired with companies they had never even heard of prior to applying. Before read the table that can be found on our application site (http://brookeowensfellowship.org/apply) carefully. Note that not each Host only offers certain types of disciplines—if you request a placement that isn’t available (for example, if you request an engineering position at NASA, which is not one of the available placements) or for which you are not eligible, that will impair our ability to match you and lower your likelihood of being selected!

If you'd like to, you can exclude Hosts from consideration as a match. Please feel free to write Host names or geographic areas. Please be advised that the more Hosts you exclude, the lower your likelihood of being selected.

PREPARE YOUR UPLOADS - RÉSUMÉ / CURRICULUM VITAE, TRANSCRIPT, AND ORIGINAL WORKS

UPON SUBMITTING THIS APPLICATION FORM, YOU WILL RECEIVE AN AUTOMATED EMAIL FROM THE BROOKE OWENS FELLOWSHIP VIA SMARTSHEET THAT INCLUDES A PERSONALIZED LINK. BY CLICKING THAT URL AND FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS YOU CAN SUBMIT ALL OF YOUR REQUIRED FILES. PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL FIVE FILES MUST BE UPLOADED AT ONCE TO QUALIFY AS A COMPLETE APPLICATION. Submission Tips: 1) Prepare to upload a current copy of your résumé / curriculum vitae. Don't sell yourself short; be sure to list anything that might be interesting to a future employer in the aerospace community! Please submit the file as a PDF document using this file nomenclature: "2021BOF_Lastname_Firstname_CV.pdf." (Example: 2021BOF_Danvers_Carol_CV.pdf") 2) Prepare to upload your most recent transcript from your university or college. If you've recently transferred to a new school, or if you are first year student, please upload whatever is the most recent transcript you have from your former community college, college, university, or high school. We think it is downright crazy when universities charge to access official transcripts; accordingly, we will accept unofficial transcripts—though it is possible that if you advance to the final stage of our selection process, our Hosts Institutions may require an official transcript. Please submit the file as a PDF using this file nomenclature: "2021BOF_Lastname_Firstname_Transcript.pdf" (Example: 2021BOF_Johnson_Katherine_Transcript.pdf" 3) Prepare to upload your response to one of the five prompts regarding your professional interests. Make sure to somehow indicate your chosen prompt and please submit your piece using this file nomenclature: "2021BOF_Lastname_Firstname_Professional.*" (Example: 2021BOF_Erso_Jyn_Professional.pdf) 4) Prepare to upload your response to one of the five prompts focused on your character and personal interests. Make sure to somehow indicate your chosen prompt and please submit your piece using this file nomenclature: "2021BOF_Lastname_Firstname_Personal.*" (Example: 2021BOF_Butler_Octavia_Personal.mov) 5) Prepare to upload your response to one of the six prompts describing your service or community mindset. Make sure to somehow indicate your chosen prompt and please submit your piece using this file nomenclature: "2021BOF_Lastname_Firstname_Community.*" (Example: 2021BOF_Khan_Kamala_Community.pptx). As a reminder, all Prompt responses should be original works for this application and follow these guidelines: one of these works is a short essay of approximately 250 words, another is a longer essay of approximately 750 words, and the final work is a 'multimedia essay' – which means it can take essentially any format that isn't a written prose essay. Please feel free to choose the media that best reflects you, your interests, and your talents. Finally, please ensure that no passwords are required for access to your works, that no individual piece is longer than 5 minutes or that any individual file size exceeds 250 MB.
