[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why you use your own networks to arrange unpaid internships. [/quote]. How do you get the paid ones? [/quote] Sometimes, the "old fashioned" way is the only way. It is so much easier now for students to make contact with potential employers. They can follow them on social media, connect with them on Linkedin. The old "it's not what you know, but who you know" is still true. That doesn't mean the student has to "know" the person...they should reach out to alums from their schools, ask teachers for ideas, ask neighbors for ideas, etc. My kid found a list of alums from her school and sent an email that was personalized to each one. Found 20 paid internships. Yes, she was at a top school and yes, she had top grades, but the school's career office was terrible, so she found her gig the "old fashioned" way through these personalized letters asking for advice.[/quote]
