"Don't Throw in the Towel:" Still time to find a summer internship

Tweet

 

Bloomberg Businessweek encourages students not to give up if they haven't found a summer internship yet, and we agree!  Below is some of their advice on finding some of the remaining internship opportunities!

"Go where you’re needed

Students can offer their services to nonprofits or startups that might not have resources to recruit and hire paid interns but usually need help with meaningful work. Faith-based organizations and the local Red Cross are organizations to consider, says Mark Brostoff, associate dean and director of the Weston Career Center at Washington University in St. Louis’s Olin Business School. That students aren’t paid is not a career problem. “Recruiters value that kind of experience,” says Brostoff. “Leaner organizations will have you roll up your sleeves, and they provide good stories for you to tell potential employers.” They also help students build networks."

This advice is very applicable for students looking for jobs on Chamber Intern Connect, as we have a number of non-profits and a few small businesses still looking for interns!
