What types of skills or experience do you want to get out of this internship? Where can you physically (location) be for the internship? These answers will help you sift through opportunities and find an internship that fits your criteria.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Be sure to have an A (top choices) and B list (not your first choice, but still great opportunities). Apply the same principle as when applying to colleges. You can\u2019t apply to ONLY big names &#8211; this will limit your chances because those opportunities will have many candidates. Instead, find competitive (big names, industry leaders), mid-size, and small or non-profit opportunities so your application list is varied.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>For summer, apply to a minimum of 15 internships, but on the flip side don\u2019t apply to hundreds. Students who apply to a great number of internships should re-evaluate their focus.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Get organized. Keep an Excel sheet that has all the information to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. E.g.: When do you need to submit materials? Which materials do you need to submit? To whom and where do you submit these materials? Refer to our guides below for an example Excel spreadsheet.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure your r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and cover letter are up to the communications industry standard. Take the Newhouse Career Development Center\u2019s r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and cover letter seminar and then have materials reviewed by the CDC.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The Newhouse CDC provides a multitude of resources to help with the search process. If you have any questions be sure to schedule an appointment with a CDC team member through your Handshake account.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Attend the CDC\u2019s Get Ready to Get Ahead: How to Land an Internship Seminar!

The reason is that students will have gotten academic, as well as, on-campus extracurricular experience.<\/p>\n<p>What does this all mean? It means, that as a freshman there is possibility to do an internship the summer after your first year, but to keep expectations in check. You will want to target smaller employers that would be open to hiring a first year student and don&#8217;t require credit.<\/p>\n<p>It also means to get involved with campus activities to gain experience in your own backyard.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, if as a freshman you don&#8217;t get an internship your first summer it is absolutely <strong>okay<\/strong>.
