[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most kids are getting internships through personal connections. Instead of blindly applying on LinkedIn, successful students are finding companies that interest them, figuring out who they know there, and asking for a warm hand-off.[/quote] Just wanted to report that my DS just landed an internship and I think the personal connection definitely helped. He reached out to an alum via LinkedIn at a company where he wanted to work. The alum happened to be very high up in the company and agreed to a "coffee chat." The alum must have liked DS because after talking the company and careers, the conversation switched to campus bars, and sports. The alum passed his name to the head of recruiting who then passed him onto a hiring manager which led to the offer. [/quote]
