| Not only is the internship field becoming more crowded, but you have to apply earlier and earlier to get them.
My son, one of the lucky ones, has already firmed up his summer financial internship with a Silicon Valley tech firm (he did this earlier this week after doing the interviews over the Christmas break). As a sophomore college business major from Indiana University, he doesn't even get into the "meat" of his business concentration courses until next year. So, what was the key to getting the internship?-----
You undoubtedly guessed it;--the internships he did for the past two summers (one after his senior year of high school and the other after his freshman year of college). Although I'm sure it also helped that he took the ten required accounting, computer, business communications, and economics courses Indiana University requires of business majors in their first two years.
Still, it does make one wonder where the "easygoing days of youth" have gone. Not to college, apparently. |
