Traci’s Answer

What an exciting chapter you are in - and I'm sure it can also be overwhelming when considering where to start. Securing an internship is a critical step to getting your foot in the door, once you've decided upon a career/industry you are interested in. I would use family/friends/anyone in your network to have conversations and begin making connections. Take advantage of your school - career counseling, job fairs, job postings. Use your school network, I'm sure professors can be helpful as well. Do your research so you are prepared when an opportunity to apply/interview comes your way. Don't underestimate how important being prepared for skills assessment and job interviews are. Sometimes it's just one shot you'll have to make a good impression. Use that same network to help you prepare and show up at your best. You've got this - you are already asking the right questions! Wishing you the best of luck on this journey.

Start by identifying the role you want and any eligibility requirements. Connect with alumni and professionals, attend career fairs, and join industry events. Apply early and highlight your technical skills along with soft skills like communication, teamwork, curiosity, adaptability, problem-solving, and time management. Getting involved in extracurricular activities, personal projects, volunteering, or earning certifications can make you stand out. Also, consider looking into smaller companies or remote jobs for great hands-on experience.

Wong’s Answer

Hi Mauro. You need to research the industries and companies you're interested in, and learn about what they do and what kind of interns they hire. This helps you apply for the right internships and shows that you're genuinely interested. Once you know where you want to apply, make sure your resume and cover letter are strong. Even if you don't have a lot of work experience, you can focus on any skills or experience you've gained in school, volunteer work, or hobbies. Employers want to see that you're eager to learn, adaptable, and can contribute to their team.

Networking is another key way to find an internship. You can use your school's career services, which may have connections with companies and can help guide you. Also, attend career fairs to meet company representatives and learn about available internships.

You can also network with professors, alumni, and classmates. Sometimes, internships are not advertised, and knowing someone in the field can help you find opportunities. LinkedIn is a great tool for professional networking, so connect with people in your field of interest and reach out to them for advice or information about possible openings.
