Alright, collegiettes, it’s time for some real talk. Searching for and landing the internship of your dreams is a daunting task. So, whether you’re currently in the middle of your own internship hunt or you’ve already been through this process, you can definitely relate to this article.
1. Searching for the internship
Spending HOURS on your school’s job connections pages is the norm and just a tedious as finding information for a research paper.
2. Finding out that your dream internship requires you to live where it is like another state or you have a long commute
Pray that there’s never any traffic and that your coffee is still warm by the time you make it there.
3. Sprucing up your resume and creating a cover letter
Let’s be real: Sometimes fixing your resume and making a cover letter is just as enjoyable as a 12 page research paper you’re doing the night before.
4. Waiting for a reply or call from the company you want to intern for
Que the Jeopardy music and staring at your screens for hours on end.
5. Getting the interview and actually going
Prepare for all that anxiety hitting you at once and the feeling of dread if you don’t do as well as you hoped
6. Waiting AGAIN for the call or email telling you you’re officially an intern
Nothing is worse than waiting, especially if you’re nervous!
7. Getting the call and finding out you got the internship of your dreams!
Nothing feels better than knowing that you got the internship you wanted and now you’re going to have every thing you need to make your dreams come true!
