Finding Internships: General Tips

Last week I shared with you about finding research internships, as I’m currently doing one! Although it has only been a week, I have been enjoying it so far and will write another update post about it at a later date! 

However, I wanted to write another blog post sharing general tips about finding internships, which will hopefully apply to many fields of study! I have done two other internships during my bachelor’s degree that were not related to research, Neuroscience or Psychology!

The first one was at an event planning company where I was able to apply my art expertise in decorating and event planning. I did it for 3 summers in a row and it was payed per event.

The second one was a year long at the Centre for International Office at my university where I helped organise orientation weeks, as well as provided mentoring for international or study abroad students. It was not paid; however, our travel costs were covered. 

I have other volunteer experience, such as working at conferences or organising Freshman orientation weeks from my undergraduate university but they were for a shorter duration of time. 

It is possible to obtain internship positions or gain volunteering experience no matter which field you’re in and it is also possible to them in different fields of interest too! For example, most of my volunteering experience and this blog is focused on providing mentorship/advice for students, something that I’m very passionate about. This experience has helped me recognise that I would probably enjoy teaching at university level!

JOIN STUDENT ORGANISATIONS

If you are looking for internships to gain work experience related to your field, such as engineering, psychology, neuroscience, computer science, etc. I would strongly suggest joining student organisation on campus for your major, as well as for internships, work schemes, career related clubs! I’m sure your campus will have at least one organisation for your major and one for careers and you should join them from day one!  Student organisations can be a valuable resource for hosting events where you can network with fellow students, as well as professionals from your fields and some of these events are likely to be related to careers, summer jobs and internships!

VISIT YOUR CAREER CENTRE

Another great campus resource is the career centre and all students should utilise their services! They often host workshops for writing your CV/resume, cover letters, interviews and also events for internships, summer jobs and full-time post graduation jobs! I would highly recommend attending career fairs and other events organised by your career centre because it is likely that you can find what you are looking for there! Some universities have partnerships with certain local companies, so showing up and being interested can only do good!

 GOOGLE SEARCH

I recommend Googling information all the time and it is no different for internships in your field and location! It is what I used to find jobs and research internships (the magic of Google is simple!). I would also recommend looking up internship websites in your location, a good one for European students is ErasmusIntern. 

APPLY, APPLY, APPLY

Create a list with all of the potential internships that you would like to apply for and start working on those applications. Some will have digital forms that need to be filled out online and some will ask you to send an e-mail with your CV/resume and a cover letter (it depends). This is why it is important to attend CV/resume and interview workshops organised by your career centre! 

It is normal to not hear back from all of the places that you’ve applied to, please don’t get discouraged! As for finding time to complete internship applications while studying full-time, I would recommend working on having your CV/resume and cover letters done first, so that you could make minor changes based on the places that you’re applying for and then working on applications in the evenings. Don’t do them all at once but you could work on 3-4 per week or at least 1 per day. 

INTERVIEWS

Please take your interviews seriously and prepare for them. I have a separate post about graduate school interviews and the tips I have shared there also apply to internship interviews. You can find and read more about it HERE. I would recommend spending some time preparing answers to most commonly asked questions about strengths/weaknesses, as well as looking up background information for each place. I would also highly recommend thinking of questions that you could ask the interviewer to show that you’re interested and want an offer for an internship!

I hope these tips help you land an internship this summer! If you would like to read more from me, click HERE to see other blog posts! You can also follow my studygram HERE for some inspiration!

The industrial worker, wherewithal his\her part, would no longer be the case accountable because what is known as a benefit-in-kind taxation.<\p>
