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.
