Jared’s Answer

If you don't know what you want to do in business, it's definitely a good idea to explore with internships as early as possible. You will get a different experience working for a large business from working for a small business. I would recommend trying to find an internship at a large professional firm if you can because it was a very valuable experience for me. You should try to figure out what the major industries are in your city and focus on those to start - it will help you make connections and expand your professional network locally. You can also try to base your internship off your interests.


Here are some suggestions:



  • advertising agencies

  • law firms

  • logistics companies

  • publishing houses

  • media companies (TV, radio, magazines, etc.)

  • fashion houses

  • banks

  • research labs


Then you want think about the type of work you'd like to do. Do you want to intern for the marketing department? The logistics department? Design? Engineering? Legal? etc.

Leslie’s Answer

Hi Terrell, there are so many opportunities to consider! What are your interests? Music? Art? Science? Math? Sports? Based on your interests, I would start to explore a variety of opportunities. Take a few general business courses and see what interests you. Once you have narrowed down to a field of interest, you can explore internships. You don't have to have your career determined in order to choose an internship but it's helpful to have a field of interest to focus your efforts. Good news, there is no one successful path into a career.

Great advice has been provided above.

After 40+ years in the corporate insurance world, I highly recommend you research internship programs at some of the large insurance companies (AIG, CNA, Met Life). They typically offer 8-10 week internships that include compensation. These internships are wonderful bridges to full time jobs at the companies.

For example: Job description
American International Group (AIG) presents a captivating opportunity for students to get into the realm of insurance and financial services. AIG, a pioneering global insurance organization, offers internships across various departments and locations, providing experience.

Rad’s Answer

Define which part of business you want to learn more about or specialize in. Then search companies or organizations in that are.

For example what types of business are in the area you live in or go to school.

I live near Austin, TX so Technology, Government, Music, and Outdoor Activities are very popular in this area.

Determine what you want to do and then narrow it down within each type of business.
