"As college students, we have all felt the stress and confusion around the conversation of summer internships: what do I want to do? Am I qualified for anything? Where do I start, and how do I apply? These are all the questions I, as well as most students, have when thinking about potential internships. It's easy to get overwhelmed. So, let this be a guide for where to go, what to do, and how to, hopefully, find your dream internship for the summer!"
"Focus on what you love. Every brand and company uses some marketing tactics: your favorite clothing brand, music label, car brand, or magazine. Honestly, the potential is endless. Start there. Look into those places and see if they have internship opportunities. A simple Google search can do the job, but LinkedIn, Handshake, and Indeed can all also be great places to look."
"Social media is another amazing resource. With a quick TikTok or Instagram search, you can see brands' postings about summer internship applications or information about other upcoming opportunities. Where you want to be located can also be important and help lead your search for internships. Again, apply to different places and don't box yourself in; there are so many amazing opportunities."
College students should begin internship searches by identifying personal interests and investigating related companies and brands. Use Google, LinkedIn, Handshake, and Indeed to locate openings and scroll internship boards to discover unexpected fits. Apply broadly to roles that pique interest rather than fixing on a single option. Use social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram to find application posts and upcoming opportunities. Consider preferred locations but remain open to diverse placements. Prepare a resume using campus workshops, online builders, and peers' examples. Submit multiple applications to increase chances of securing a desirable summer internship.
