Any advice on internship hunting?
And suddenly, I do not know what I want to do. I am in the IT industry. Everything just feels so difficult and draining. I still do not know what I want to do. I don't have a knack for programming, networking or any other technical concepts. My experience is more on the UI/UX sector but deep in my head, I am not sure if I need confidence or am I just pretending I can do it. I vibe coded a web app for myself and realized...I cannot code without AI not especially the backend + connecting the logic... I am applying for an internship soon next week. I am not sure what role I want to explore but the requirement is something related to IT. In a very fast-paced industry, I am behind. This internship means a lot to me but it is just so hard.
What is a "volunteer internship" And is it any less legit/effective than a position that is just called an "internship"??
Found a grants and fundraising position that's called a "volunteer internship". This confused me, since I have usually seen "volunteer" roles and "internship" roles as separate categories. So what's the difference between a "volunteer internship" and a normal "internship"? Would a "volunteer internship" mean less mentorship, not enough learning experience, etc.? Or, is the only difference between this "volunteer internship" and other normal "internships" that it's a nonprofit organization, and potentially unpaid (it was stated that "a small stipend may be available depending on future funding")? It still seems that I would get helpful experience through this role, since I have no grant writing experience. I also got a pretty quick response to my application (literally same day as I applied), and I only had to submit my resume. Both of these details made me wonder if this would lean more into the "volunteer" side than the "internship" side.
