Mid-Summer Internships

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Every summer, millions of high school and college students try to find great internships that will launch their career and make their future. Why? Because for a long time students have known that job experience, whether through an internship or part-time job, is key in landing that dream job upon graduation. For those of you who want to make a future in publishing, communications, or business, you’ll probably have to take an unpaid internship for a little while in order to chalk up job experience.

If it’s already mid-summer, and you’re still working at the Dairy Freez, fear not. Here are some internships that will let you gain work experience now, before the summer ends:

1. Write for your local paper. Many small papers will let high school students interested in journalism or college journalism students write stories for them covering local events. If you’re still in high school, offer to write about teen issues in your town. If you’re a journalism student at college, try and work the beat at the town hall by attending town meetings etc. These events are boring, but filled with news items, so your story just might get published.

2. Volunteer at the office of a charity. Find a charity that you have supported in the past, and volunteer your filing and coffee-carrying services for the next month. If you used to hand out food at the food bank, try offering to help organize the volunteers or collect the donations. Any job that gives you access to a computer (life lesson: learn Microsoft Office NOW) and experience handling paperwork will seriously pay off later in life.
3. Fundraise. Fundraisers often happen unexpectedly. Scour craigslist and your paper for upcoming fundraisers for the arts, schools, and sports teams. Offer to cold call people for money, help design programs, anything they need. This will give you great sales experience, and put you in contact with tons of people.
