Search for the Best Internship!

Hopefully, my little internees, you have recovered from that fabulously emotional blog from yesterday.
(Insert aww here.)

Today, I want to share a few websites where you can (if you have not already) find awesome internships!

El numero uno: Internship Programs
This site allows you to search for the world's most perfect internship.
You can search by employeer, field, date, or location.
Keep in mind, many companies are searching for SUMMER interns.
They also post recently added internships, and there are quite a few from Boston Pads and The Art Farm!

Two: Student Jobs - A government based website.
This site helps you to create a resume and search for jobs/internships.
They also offer a scholarship. (and don't we all just LOVEEEE free moo-la!)

Three: Intern Zoo
You must have a login but they offer search engines and awesome internship advice.
(Not as good as mine, but I try not to be selfish! I want you to be an awesome intern, so take ALL advice!)

Four: MONSTER! College
Monster.com is the most amazing website, designed for students (as well as those seeking jobs).
They have absolutely everything you need to find an internship, so as I stated once before, DEFINITELY sign up with Monster.com.
However, be prepared that everytime you search on their site, they send you emails.
I get, at least, 5 a day. It's great.

And the fifth and final website: InternWeb
What's uber awesome about this site is on the home page is a list of ALL the recent internships available AND they range from California to Pennsylvania.
So anywhere you want to go, you can!

There are many other awesome sites available online, so make sure to utilize that google, man!
When you search these sites make sure you check out a few minor details!
  • Do they pay? (A major plus if they do!!)
  • How many hours MUST you be there or how many days a week, etc?
  • What will you be doing? HELLO, you DO NOT want to apply for a PR internship where you're going to be scraping dog poo off of sidewalks.
  • Do you need letters of recommendation? If it's for a summer internship, you're going to want those letters written before school gets out because during the summer, you may not be able to contact the professors.
  • Get the contact information!!

Hopefully you find these websites as helpful as I did when I was looking for an internship!

Happy internship hunting!
Love, Alice
