Your Internship: How to find it, land it, survive it, and make the most of it

By Molly Abrahamson

For many students, an internship is the vital first step out of the classroom and into the professional world. It introduces the hectic and often intense workplace, it teaches vital skills, and it may lead to a first job or even a career. But most undergraduates have only the vaguest idea what an internship is, how to find a suitable and interesting one, how to apply for it, how to ace the interview, what the first day will be like, how to survive the ups and downs of the working world, and how to convert that experience into a future. In fact, the whole prospect of seeking an internship can be confusing, intimidating, or even terrifying. Molly Abrahamson, writing from the vantage point of a college senior, has written a clear, sympathetic, helpful, and even funny guide to help undergraduates through this daunting but ultimately rewarding process. Drawing on the experience of college career counselors, current undergraduates, employers and graduates who have used their internship as a springboard to greater things, she lays out the territory and steers the reader to the most exciting and scary of destinations: the real world.
