During the last few months as I have spoken with college professors all over the USA, I have had many mention how tough it is for their students to find internships in this economy. There have been stories of large corporations who usually hire a multitude of interns who are not hiring any at all this year. Many instructors have also asked me, "what do the students do to graduate when the internship is required and they can't find one?"
While I don't have answers that will guarantee those who follow my advice will get an internship, I do want to encourage students to read this article from Quintessential Careers. Some of you may have read it before but it is worth reading again.
College Students: You Simply Must Do and Internship (Better Yet: Multiple Internships)!
Not trying to pour salt into a wound here. Just remind you how important an internship is to your career. If you think finding an internship is hard, try finding a job when many older, more experienced people are applying for the same position because they are now out of work. If you want to have a chance of finding a job after graduation, you will need experience to get your foot in the interview door.
