There are so many different internships across the U.S. for you to apply for—the trick is finding them. In many of my internship searches, I often started out with company websites I heard of, but shortly after found that my search was dim. Here are two of my favorite websites to help make sure you avoid limiting yourself!
Internships.com
Internships.com is a great source for browsing and applying for internships. Many different organizations and companies publicize listings for internships or job opportunities with them, they offer internship matches.
With Internships.com, you have to sign up for a free account in order to receive all the benefits they have to offer. With your own profile, you can upload your resume, cover letter, and even video resume as well. With your skills and interests listed, they create a customized feed of applicable and relevant internships that may spark your interest. The only way to apply for these internships, though, is to have an account with the site, because it submits your application through them.
Along with being able to upload your resume and cover letter, the site also offers recommendations and tips to getting yourself out there, and getting you the internship of your dreams.
Internqueen.com
Internqueen.com isn’t just for girls, I promise! This site has the same concept as Internships.com, but offers a bit of an easier interface to browse through. Internqueen.com was founded by Lauren Berger; she was appointed number 5 on Business Week’s annual list of Young Entrepreneurs 25 Under 25. What makes this website so cool is the fact that it’s run by someone who’s kind of just like us. The site has a more personal and “younger” feel, unlike Internships.com, whose interface may seem a little more intimidating because it’s sort-of a colorful version of Linkedin.
When you select the “Internships” tab, you are given a list of internships organized by location, and there are several drop-down menus on the top to help narrow your search if you don’t feel like browsing through all of the ones Berger hosts on her site.
You also do need a user profile to be able to apply for and submit applications to internships you find on the site. Like Internships.com, this site also offers tips and news that may be of interest to college students (i.e. announcements on forums and events about certain internships, and tips on working out).
