Steps to Finding an Internship

There are many job/internship search techniques. Those that we recommend are:

• Targeted mail and phone campaign
• Networking
• On-campus interviews and job fairs
• Informational interviews
• Responding to posted job announcements

It is recommended that you utilize all the foregoing to find your internship. Studies show that direct contact (a combination of targeted mail and phone campaigns and networking) is the most effective means of landing an internship and accounts for up to 75% of jobs found in the U.S. Responding to ads accounts for about 10%. To maximize your chances of landing an internship, use all these techniques in your job search.
