Don't Miss the Deadlines!

So it's finally the time of year where we find ourselves so busy with Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, finals, papers, gift shopping, gift wrapping and..... intern applications! Yes, it is time to start applying if you want to get a leg up on the 100s of girls who will soon be applying for that New York internship! So how do you get started? View this list as a starters guide:

• Create a Resume with ANY experience you have, especially if you have any that relates to the field you want to intern for
  
• Find out who you know, your friends know, your parents know, that could give you an intial contact in the field
  
• Clean up your Facebook, MySpace, etc BEFORE you even think about applying! Every boss checks these sites to get your scope (believe me, I watched a fellow intern meekly supply facebook information about future interns for her boss!)
  
• Go to Ed2010 to see what internships are already posted
  
• study up on the industry! Visit the sites on the left of the page to get you started
  
• write a short e-mail to the intern coordinator -- attach your resume.
  
• apply to various places, you never know who you will hear back from

Finally wait patiently to hear back from them. Some coordinators will tell you its too soon or too late. be persistant and see what pops up. But please, don't call them unless they ask. E-mail is the way to go, I promise you assistants check their e-mail constantly! Wait a few weeks to hear back from them. If they don't respond, send a polite e-mail reminding them of your application/resume.
Any questions? Feel free to ask!
