How to get an internship

• Be picky in your selection process: While you may have no work experience yet, that doesn’t mean that you have nothing to offer. You don’t have to apply to absolutely everything in the hopes that one will accept you. Instead, think about what you want - what field you’re interested in, what tasks you want to have, what skills you want to learn, and what company you want to work with. What you get out of an internship is just as important as what you put into one.
• Write a great resume: There are plenty of free online tools to help you not only write your resume but also create an attractive and professional one. Take advantage of the resources available to make a well-written resume, and keep it honest. As an intern, companies won’t expect you to have tons of experience so there’s no need to lie. Instead, highlight your studies and your university experiences, whether it be clubs, volunteer work, or impressive research projects you have done.
• Write an interesting and personalized cover letter: Similar to writing your resume, be honest in your cover letter. While you may not have previous work experience to highlight, you can still reference your studies and your interpersonal skills. A good way to stand out is also to talk about your connection to the company and why you would like to work there specifically. It’s important to personalize each cover letter, if a hiring manager can tell that you put in the time and effort to research the company, it will only reflect positively on you.
