Making the Summer Internship Work for You

Summer internship time is approaching. Any college student worth his/her salt is shoving down thoughts of freedom and beaches and all the beautiful things summer break used to mean, and is working any angle he/she can think of in order to land a sweet summer internship gig. Seriously, no one has a summer job delivering pizza any more. There seems to be some theory in the offing that insists there’s a direct correlation between one’s future trajectory and one’s summer break activities.

Lindsey Pollak has some advice about how to turn an internship into a job, and Hack College has a new and improved way to organize your internship applications with a spreadsheet. Get to it, people, or you’ll be looking at a lifetime of trying to survive on minimum wage and the tipping kindness of strangers.
