Still searching for a summer internship? Look no further. Although summertime is right around the corner and many companies have stopped taking internship applications, there is still a chance for you to secure an amazing internship this summer. Collegians, don’t shy away from unpaid internships!

Internships are also great because even if they are unpaid, you can earn college credit- it’s just like taking a class, but you get the experience and the ability to add to your already polished resume. Often internships even lead to full time job offers, so take the opportunity and open a new door for yourself- it’s not too late!
