There are many ways to find internship opportunities, but have you implemented a particular method? Make the most of your resources?

I have listed 7 methods:

4 proactive methods: family, classmates and intern partners, school organization, HR contact information.

Using these channels requires more time, but the rewards are greater.

There are three commonly used methods, including information overseas internship, information websites and network sites.

I want to focus on LinkedIn, which is very popular overseas. I have a senior sister who found an MBA working at Google through LinkedIn, and she maintained long-term communication with him. In the end, she got an offer from Google. Google basically doesn't send offers to international students, so the elder sister is still very good.

Next, I will introduce each channel in detail.

First, the family: a resource for parents.

Young students often ask me how to start looking for your first internship without an internship. If you have a high grade point average, rich community experience, good oral communication skills, and good English skills, you can apply for a summer internship at a large company online. But most people are not so good. For them, the first internship is not easy to find. In this case, you can ask your parents. parents build a network of relationships, and their network of relationships provides good internship opportunities.

Second, classmates and intern partners.

Every school has great people. They have great internship opportunities. Through internships, they go deep into the company and provide contact information for the boss and the human resources department. You can use them to understand and ask about the company's situation, deepen your understanding of the company, and see if the industry is suitable for you. Furthermore, they can directly recommend HR for you. Internships in consulting companies are basically internal digestion. When the former boss and HR released the recruitment information of the parent meeting, I would tell my friends as soon as possible, but the information I saw on the website was delayed. Through their submission of resumes, there is a greater chance of getting an interview opportunity.

Third, school institutions.

At least two people enter Bain every year, and members can get internship opportunities at the parent Association through the Internet. Members of investment institutions and financial associations in the school can enjoy resources that outsiders cannot enjoy. On behalf of the school, the employment training center of the school can negotiate with the enterprise to a certain extent. To give an example, in 2018 Zhejiang University and NetEase held an event on Intelligent Science and Learning Revolution. 15 people participated, and in the end they each got an intern offer.

Fourth, the contact information of HR.

HR will notify you to participate in the interview by phone or email, and then you can get his contact information directly, and then you can directly ask HR if there is a suitable position. Top companies value your initiative, and contacting the human resources department can make them feel that you are both thoughtful and proactive. . Sixth, information websites. The best one is the BBS of the resumption of diplomatic relations in Qingbei. When the information of recruiting interns is released, the HR is the first to send it to the circle of friends, and the alumni will post to the BBS when they see it. There are other students and recent graduates. I also found recruitment information from large companies such as McKinsey. In addition, if the school is not particularly good and does not have any special experience, you can also find a suitable location in the street network. Networking sites such as LinkedIn mentioned earlier. Although people in China do not particularly like to use it, because Chinese students are not very good at establishing interpersonal networks, in fact, interpersonal networks are very important for internships.

Also mention the experience of finding an internship in gap year. One of the biggest difficulties is the identity of the student. Foreign companies do not accept the status of non-school students, and local venture capital and private equity firms do not care about their status, but require long-term internships. So how to maintain student status? The first suggestion is that the earlier the internship, the better. If the season does not go well: apply in December, apply in January and February, and plan to reapply next year. Then quickly find an internship. If you wait until May or June, when you are about to graduate, the company will think that you are no longer a student and will not send you an offer. The second suggestion: apply for a simple spring course. I got the offer of UIUC's spring project. In this case, the foreign company will recognize you as a student.
