Specifically created for young female professionals, Levo League was founded to give you career advice, job opportunities and more.

I highly suggest this website because you really can’t go wrong asking for advice from some of the top women in the world!

As always, Internships.com is the master of all internships, media-related or not. You can find a variety of different opportunities with the click of a button. They also offer a variety of resources like stories from interns, tips to do better in your interviews and you can even set up a profile and get emails about new jobs that fit your descriptions. They break things down for you a little differently than other websites. You can have them search for you by just telling them your major and where you would like to work. They will then find jobs that might match your profile!
Social Media
Social media plays a huge role in the job world. A lot of times, companies will tweet, Instagram, or even put on LinkedIn that they are looking for a specific intern and to email your resume and clips to a specific person or department. It is so important to follow all your favorite brands and companies on social media to make sure that you are up to date on any of their information. Some companies also have specific profiles for job-related news, questions, and inquires.
