HOW TO DO IT

If you are applying for a leadership internship class, PUBP 4651, you first need to find an internship. You should start strategizing on internships early and plan to apply for several internships for the same semester to assure that one or more internships can be secured. Below are several tips for obtaining internships.

• Start researching internships six months before the internship semester.
• Keep up with your majors listserv mailings, which list internships periodically.
• Contact your Academic Advisor for procedures for setting up internships with your major.
• Consider interning during fall or spring semesters when there is less competition for internships.
• Meet with Career Counselor from Career Services, to clarify career interests and to help narrow down career areas.
• Keep a file of interesting internships for future semesters.
• Follow the GT Career Services strategies for getting an internship.
