How to Find an Internship Measures 1. Start by indulging in some type of work or volunteer experience that does not require a resume. For example, get involved as a volunteer for shelter for homeless or as part of school activities, babysitting, camp counselor, retail, and restaurant work or some type of administrative support such as writing a resume etc. Do not bother to think “Why is this important?� Responsibility is to show, not in dispute. 2. Your educational background (if any), your work and volunteer activities, interests, etc have to be jotted down. When writing about your experience, keep your points short and ensure that they quantify a resume. Please mention the job or internship you desire in the future and ensure to emphasize on your efficiencies. Most importantly, make sure that you can be reached either on phone or via e-mail easily. Make sure your voicemail message and email addresses given are professionally correct and keep checking them often. If you live with roommates or family, tell them that you are on a look out for work and your messages are most important. Or you can simply type in your mobile phone number and email ID in your resume. 3. Search for internships or job opportunities. Good sources are various web sites, your friends, family, acquaintances, etc. Professional associations and organisation in your chosen profession and networking with those who attend college, school or work for students with internship listings can be your school's career center - don't ignore these resources. Some non-profit organisations have special circumstances such as people who are unemployed, or homemakers who are disabled workforce (paid) who can also help. 4. Be persistent! Continue to pursue leads. You may be rejected, but if you send out your resume to numerous organisations and are persistent and consistent, you will find at least 2-3 jobs or internship leads per day and definitely you will see the results in the end! 5. Return the phone or e-mail to employers immediately if they contact you for an interview to be sure. Do not be afraid or hesitate - you can lose a chance! 6. Find out a few routine questions asked in the interview and practice them by researching and figuring what the employer is exactly looking for. 7. Arrive on time for your interview, and in a professional business dress code. During the interview, try to be friendly and make sure to emphasize on your strong points. Believe in your abilities, but do not be arrogant. Stress on your ability to learn. Take a mental note of the work

environment around you and try to ascertain whether you will be happy to work here? Is this a professional place to work? What can you expect? What can you learn? 8. If you accept, you have made a promise. So be careful! Choose the company that best fits your requirements. 9. Make sure you fully understand all aspects of the proposal before accepting it. For example, If this is an internship, is it paid or unpaid? Are you registered to earn internship credit for college? What is the time required for the commitment? If it is a job, salary, benefits, vacation package, retirement, etc. are the most important things to check for. Last but not the least, what is it exactly that you would be doing. Review • Do not be afraid to help and get helped. Ask friends, family, school counselors, career counselors, etc. if in doubt. • Mocking the interview with a friend or counselor will reduce your stress in the actual interview. Alert • If you have any questions for the employer regarding the job or internship offers, do not hesitate to ask about any un-cleared part. • Make sure you understand if there is any compensation or commission attached to the package offered to you. • Do not falsify your resume or interview ... It will come back and bother you later. • If you have been called for an interview without a job or internship offer, be careful.
We wish you a bright future!
