My Take?
Leverage your network
Nowโs not the time to be self-conscious about calling in favors, or at the very least utilizing your associations to get you closer to that epic summer internship gig. Even if youโre starting your search only a few weeks before summer, Matthew Warzel, president,ย MJW Careers, stressed the importance of reaching out to your personal network and leveraging any connections you may have.
โAsk friends, family or alumni from your school if they know of any internship opportunities or can connect you with someone who does. Utilize social media platforms like LinkedIn to search for potential opportunities and make new connections in your desired field,โ he said.
Alumni of your college or university, in particular, may be particularly helpful.
Seek out remote internships
โMany companies are now offering virtual internships that can be done from anywhere,โ said Warzel, who flagged these gigs as a solid choice if youโre struggling to find an internship in your local area or if youโre facing time constraints. โLook for companies or organizations that offer remote internships in your desired field, and tailor your application to highlight your ability to work independently and remotely.โ
Warzel also suggests browsing online job boards that specialize in remote work, such as Remote.co or FlexJobs.
โBy expanding your search to include remote internships, you may be able to find a great opportunity that fits your schedule and location constraints.โ
โฆ Or those in a different location
In-person internship experiences may serve you better than remote opportunities as it gives you face time with key movers and shakers.
Thatโs why you may also want to consider casting your geographical net wider when on the internship prowl.
โExpanding your search to other cities or even other countries can greatly increase your chances of finding an internship,โ said Warzel. โLook for opportunities in cities or regions that are known for your desired industry or field, and tailor your application to highlight your willingness to relocate for the internship,โ he continued.
You can also check out job boards or internship websites that specialize in opportunities in different locations, such as GoAbroad or InternAbroad.
Donโt just stick to your first choice
Some of the jobs that arenโt the sexiest on paper wind up being the most valuable and enriching job opportunities of your life.
To that point, Warzel said to look for opportunities that may not be as popular or competitive as others, such as internships in smaller or lesser-known companies or in less glamorous industries.
โThese internships may not be your dream job, but they can still offer valuable experience and skills that can help you stand out in future job applications,โ he said, pointing out that these companies may be more likely to accept last-minute applications or have a shorter hiring timeline.
