First Steps to Obtaining an Internship
Plan ahead! Some summer internships have deadlines as early as November, but most require starting the search process by the end of January. Ask yourself these 5 important questions:
- Where do I want to do an internship? My hometown? Out of state?
- When do I want to do an internship?
- What type of work would I like to do? In what field?
- What type of organization would I like to work for? A large corporation? A non-profit agency? Government?
- What specific skills or experiences do I want to acquire?
