Thinking about an Internship?
Whether you are considering an internship for this coming summer or contemplating one for an upcoming semester, it is never too early to put your plan into action. During these difficult economic times and tight job market, the right internship will provide valuable work experience, as well as a leg up on the competition when applying for future positions.
Performing a Google search online for "internships" amasses an unlimited selection of helpful sites. Some are very specific to particular areas of interest:
healthcare , fashion, finance, science, journalism, music, engineering, federal internships, etc.
An article on the website About.com, Penny's Top Internship Sites for 2009, by Penny Loretto is a worthwhile resource, offering a selective list of general sites to peruse. You can also subscribe to Penny's weekly internship newsletter. In addition, there are a number of other related internship topics that Penny addresses on the site. So, click away.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to your internship search, but a good place to start.
By the way, if you aren't familiar with About.com, the site offers many wonderful newsletters on an endless array of topics. I receive a number of their newsletters: for example, newsletters about the places I like to frequent in New York City, specific to the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan. These newsletters provide invaluable tips about NYC that would not normally be on my radar screen.
