[quote=Anonymous]My college kid has done the following since the first year to get internships. Of course, this is anecdata so take what you want out of it. - Starts applying in September. Applies to around 100 - 150 places. It is a numbers game, especially if you do not have connections. Expects 1 or 2 interviews. - Has an ongoing database of places he has applied to, listings he sees through the year, the names of the contact person etc. - Has a portfolio of his work on an online site that he continues adding to. He is improving his skills all the time. He is a CS major. - Asks his professors their advice how to stand out in class to become student they would be happy to recommend. Keeps in touch with his mentors and previous PIs. - Maintains his resume and LinkedIn. Maintains a brag sheet, as most recommenders want one. - Gets excellent grades, is engaged and participates in the classroom, dresses well, is respectful to his professors. [/quote]
