Are there any paid internships out there for a college graduate?
Question by Todd S: Are there any paid internships out there for a college graduate?
I am having difficulty finding a bonified job so I thought I would fudge it and try to find a paid internship. I am a recent college grad, CCSU Class of 07. I have a BA in Poli Sci and would love to find paid internships within some sort of a political organization. PS I am also looking for a gf so if you like a 190 lbs white blond haired blu eyed guy from Connecticut i am also interested

If you’re a recent grad, internships most likely won’t apply to you. PAID internships especially won’t apply to you. Most internships require being a junior or senior in college. For a paid internship in PS you WILL need to still have in college.
Start volunteering and in the meantime get ANY job–customer service, sales, etc. Get experience in anything. BUT just keep volunteering. Network. Get your name out there.

Try your college placement office. That’s how I found my first job. Companies that like graduates from your college submit job offers there.

I did the same thing (got a paid internship out of college). They definitely exist, but they’re harder to find, especially if you are looking for something politically oriented. Are you planning on moving to DC? It’ll make your search a lot easier. I seriously recommend craigslist; check the intership box and look to see which are paid.

I was on the same boat sorta. I switched majors after 2 years….into a 5 year major…. In attempts to not be in college the rest of my life didn’t do any internships / coops and was plannign to do them afterwards…..yeah…. no luck.
There are some out there, and to be honest…..its gonna be jsut as difficult to find them as getting a job. I applied to 20 different places for entry level jobs……but the lack of internships really killed me. Only got an interview from 2 of them…..and one gave me an offer……took some time, but it worked out.
And even if i was willing to get a sex change to become a girl…i’m not really into blue eyes…….sorry
