I’m trying to land an internship for the summer, but there’s no place in particular I know that has them. Plus, I’ve heard that internships are something that they find you for. Is that true? If not, is it possible to apply for an internship? If so, do you know where I could find one, summer or school year, in either Gwinnett or Walton county Georgia?

Answer by docbritt
you heard WHO ‘finds them for you’? noone is going to go looking around finding internships for you; you have to do it yourself, and the competition for most internships are pretty fierce and few and far between. you havent been specific enough here; the word “internships” has a wide range. what field are you trying to get into? most internships require college work or a degree in that specific field and you have to apply for most of them (how would they know you wanted it if you dont apply? whats the alternative?). if you have a solid background in that field, you can apply. its hard to find internships online- most are found through school or word of mouth. youll have to get out there and make some connections and start talking to some professors and grads.

I go to a community college in a city. How can I find college internships?

Best answer:

Answer by Higher Ed Professional
The same way you do at any college — your adviser, your department, and your college’s internship/cooperative work experience office.

Your adviser, whether it be a professor in your program or someone from the college’s advising/counseling center, should be your first stop. They will know you, your interest, and your strengths and weaknesses better than anyone. Your department will know about specific opportunities and also be able to take advantage of established relationships with community placement sites. And your internships office — it may be called something different, of course — will have a wide variety of resources available, usually including a directory of local offices and organizations that look for interns.

You can also use websites like FastWeb.com to find internships, or you can visit the websites of local offices/organizations you have interest in and see if they have an internships page in their employment section. (I found my first college internships by reading the “help wanted” ads in my local newspaper.) Internship placement sites aren’t going to discount you because you attend a community college, so don’t worry about that. Good luck.

I have applied to 7 summer internships so far. I am waiting to apply to some that haven’t started accepting applications yet. I estimate that I will apply to 20 total. Is that a good amount? What are my chances? I have a 3.7 GPA, am a junior and am majoring in finance. I also have a management position at my current job, which I think ties into the leadership quality that the companies require in an intern. Any opinions? Am I on the right track? I look for finance internships at any major company I can think of, then apply if the location is feasible.

My work history is kind of scattered,and I am not sure how to put it on a resume. I’ve been working as a freelance photographer for 3 years, had 3 internships prior to that, and was a photo editor before I began interning.
Should I list the internships separately, or should I put everything under “experience” and list the positions as “intern”?

Thank you!

Answer by benevolus
I suggest you start by prioritizing your skills and experience – taking into account what will matter most to the employer you’re targeting.

Put your most compelling attributes in a ’skills summary’ section at the top of your resume. Then decide whether you will present yourself best by placing your experience in categories or in a job-by-job list.

It doesn’t sound as if your experience is all that diverse – it all seems to relate to the photographic field! So you could present your experience in a reverse chronological manner. But even if you choose the so-called ‘functional resume’ approach, you can still list your work history underneath the categories of skills. Many employers feel more comfortable being able to see your work history at a glance – even if you choose to give higher prominence to the skills.

I’m planning on entering an MPA program next fall. I know it’s kind of a long way off, but I really want to do an internship after I complete my studies. The degree I will be getting is a Master’s in Public Administration. I will probably choose the concentration in Nonprofit Administration. I’d really like to do my internship for a large NGO – preferably one with an international focus. I would also consider internships in the federal or state government if I still could have a public service focus. Where are some good places to start?
