You should approach applying for internships in
much the same way as looking for a job. Therefore much of what appears on this
page about CV writing and covering letters for full-time jobs and career
advancement will be relevant if you are trying to find a placement for work
experience or an internship. The tips and ideas on the job interviews section are
also relevant to seeking and applying for and successfully gaining internships
and work experience placements.
It’s essential to research prospective
internship employers. And plan this well in advance. People who leave things
until the last minute reduce their options, and increase the amount of
competitive pressures involved. Also, planning and researching early in the
process will maximize the chances of identifying and securing the best
placements.
