Summer Internships . . .

Students benefit from all different types of work experiences - either paid or unpaid - and it's never to early to start planning and brainstorming about next summer.

This is a good article by Derrick Dortch about internships . . . read it and be motivated to think now about how you will spend your summer!

A few thoughts . . .

--ask your teachers, parents and other adults for ideas
--think about what kind of job you'd like to try and contact employers directly
--every major government agency has student internship opportunities but you have to apply early
--non profit organizations are another place to look
--tell people that you are on the look for a summer internship! Market yourself!

Do you have any other ideas of places to look?

Happy Fall and Happy Searching!

P.S.  Sorry about the scanning quality.  Can't seem to find the link to the Post article.  But Mr. Dortch is a prolific writer about federal employment and career counseling.  Spend some time reading his material . . .it's worth the time!

A few other good searches here, and  here!
