Tips on Finding an Internship

  • Do some preliminary research. Write down what you want in your ideal internship: geography/location, industry, hours per week, pay, etc.
  • Meet with your department internship coordinator to discuss your options for internships.
  • Set up "info interviews" with potential employers-find out what kind of internships are available in your field and what employers are looking for.
  • Visit Web sites that list job and internship opportunities.
  • Remember that every internship could lead to full-time employment. Gaining related experience now will give you a step up on the competition later.
