Asked by twilkins19
Where can I apply for internship jobs as I further my education. I understand we do not live in the same area but what types of firms, companies, or who hires interns? If anyone knows a website that would be great. Thanks No mean smart aleck replies needed.

Best Answer:
There are two types of companies that offer internships. Large national corporations often recruit interns in an effort to train young workers for the future. These programs are usually very specific in the type of student they are looking for and the standardized pay (or lack of pay). Small, local businesses are often willing to take on interns because they are in need of good people who are able to learn. They are usually not able to pay as well initially (if at all), but there is often more opportunity in the long-run. Your chance of finding an internship may relate to how willing you are to work cheap. You have to decide what you're willing to give up in order to gain the experience you need. But don't sacrifice more than you can afford... otherwise it will just lead to hard feelings.

http://www.monstertrak.monster.com/jobseeker/?WT_srch=1 Search thousands of Full-Time, Part-Time and Internship Opportunities Companies post jobs that are targeted directly to your school I also found mention to "Peterson's Internships" I found a listing for it on Amazon, so it's not free, but includes: Editorial Reviews Book Description Internships is a comprehensive directory of internship opportunities across the U.S., and abroad. The guide provides detailed, pertinent, annually updated information on thousands of short-term positions available in numerous career areas.

Good question but a bit of a complex answer. The easy answer is utilize your networks. Family, friends, professors, and previous and current work associates. The more challenging question is . . . which field do you want to enter? The better you are able to drill down and identify your target industry the better you will be able to expend your time, energy and resources in attaining your desired position. Example - business admin with a Fortune 500 financial firm in Management or Human Resources. Now you can target specific networks that you know to help you acquire an internship. Your networks can be an incredibly powerful tool. Make sure to prep an e-mail outlining your goals and ambitions and send this out to your friends, family, etc. Tenacity and persistance are the key. My best bet is that if you focus your energies through networking you will find great success. I wish you happy hunting!!! Dave

most of the answers you got by now says places you can check, i will repeat them for convenience- jobsites, direct big companies in the area you want to work in, friends, job consultants, etc. but one thing i want to share most is a advice i got from somebody i could not heed when i passed out. " in corporate world you are paid in two forms EXPERIENCE & MONEY, take the EXPERIENCE first MONEY will follow. join some big company which gives u a platform to talk to for future jobs & also rich experience, believe me Money & other things will follow. bye & bets of luck.
