Finding an Internship

By Penny Loretto, About.com Guide

Networking with family, friends, faculty, college advisors, and career counselors in the Career Services Office at your college will help you to identify the type of internship you want and when and where you want to do it. Contacting alumni from your college and doing informational interviews can provide you with valuable information on career options you can pursue as an internship. Be sure to send a thank you note expressing your appreciation for sharing their time and expertise.
