But it can be hard to know where, when, or how to start the process of actually obtaining a summer internship, especially while you\u2019re managing a full course load. If an internship is in your summer plans, read on for helpful resources to begin your search, information about the approval process for Emerson students, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170901_JobFair-047-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Emerson student at a job fair table, speaking to a career representative.\" class=\"wp-image-2369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170901_JobFair-047-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170901_JobFair-047-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170901_JobFair-047-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170901_JobFair-047-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170901_JobFair-047-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to Start Your Internship Search<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The sooner you start your search, the better! Whether you\u2019re an undergraduate or graduate student, at Emerson or another school, it\u2019s a good idea to start organizing your materials and looking for positions at the start of the semester prior to the internship. You&#8217;ll want to start your search at <a href=\"https:\/\/joinhandshake.com\/blog\/students\/save-these-dates-internship-start-dates-and-milestones\/\">least three months prior<\/a> to any internship approval or start date deadlines.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most schools, that means you&#8217;ll want to start looking for a summer internship anytime from January to March. But that doesn\u2019t mean you have to spend copious amounts of time trolling jobs boards while you\u2019re busy with course work. Start browsing on major job boards like <a href=\"https:\/\/careers.google.com\/\">Google Careers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/jobs\/\">LinkedIn<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indeed.com\/?from=gnav-homepage\">Indeed<\/a>, using specific keywords about the roles you&#8217;re interested in. Most job boards also allow you to tailor your search for part-time, seasonal, or internship opportunities. Let the platforms do the hard work of filtering through the many options for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graduate (and undergraduate!) students at Emerson should check out the following resources to kick off your internship search:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Career Development Center<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a student at Emerson, this is your one-stop shop for career education, resources, and experiential learning opportunities. The staff at the Career Development Center offer students and alumni a variety of services including resume and cover letter reviews, interview preparation, and individual career counseling. You can reach out to them <a href=\"mailto:careers@emerson.edu\">via email<\/a>, or by using one of the Center\u2019s online resources below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CareerBuzz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/careercenterblog.emerson.edu\/\">CareerBuzz<\/a> is the Career Development Center\u2019s primary online hub for career-related news, resources, and opportunities. Here you\u2019ll find<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1TxIFF1q-o2SS_CM13JG_5QPPtoHlk_gK\/view?usp=sharing\"> resources specific to graduate students<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1Jz1IpAqRV3hlhyLTwKBvIbK7Wlo0CL99?usp=sharing\"> tips for improving your resume<\/a>, and even the option to<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/aV7RDb9fLxLeSvxw9\"> submit your professional materials<\/a> for review online. This is also where you can find information about upcoming events or opportunities with top Emerson employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Handshake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.joinhandshake.com\/login\">Handshake<\/a> is the online platform that the Career Development Center uses specifically for sharing Emerson-approved job and internship opportunities. Here you can browse active job or internship postings and subscribe to role-specific alerts, like the Center\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/emersoncollege.typeform.com\/to\/hCS3VN\">Hot Lists<\/a>,\u201d featuring jobs and internships from Emerson\u2019s partner employers. Unlike other job-posting platforms, Handshake is specifically designed for matching current students with internships, part-time work, or future full-time employment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up a Handshake account with your Emerson ID is likely where you\u2019ll want to begin your internship search. From there you can set up a consultation with a Career Counselor to go over your application materials, or simply start by browsing the curated lists of internships collected and updated by Career Development. Set up email alerts on Handshake so that you\u2019ll get personalized recommendations anytime an internship is posted with your select criteria.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170925_Stock-031-1-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Two Emerson students using their laptops in the Quiet Study area in the Piano Row building.\" class=\"wp-image-2370\" width=\"471\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170925_Stock-031-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170925_Stock-031-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170925_Stock-031-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170925_Stock-031-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170925_Stock-031-1-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 471px) 100vw, 471px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Finding the Right Internship<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve gotten your initial search results, it can be tempting to cast a wide net and apply to everything. Be on the lookout for internships that aren&#8217;t worth your time applying to, or don\u2019t meet criteria for academic credit. Another great reason to use any of the resources available through your school: you can be sure that the organization has been vetted by their Career Development Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All Massachusetts employers are<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mass.gov\/service-details\/volunteers-and-interns\"> legally required<\/a> to offer interns compensation for their time if they are not receiving course credit. Make sure that the internship is either a paid position, or able to meet the requirements for academic credit. On the other hand, you\u2019ll want to be aware of positions that seem \u201ctoo good to be true,\u201d or recruiters that ask for any of your personal or financial information early on in the process to<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1vwAAG3394KLWonz7RdfRT_zu0SUOT1fO\/view?usp=sharing\"> avoid being scammed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to consider the location of the internship and whether or not you\u2019ll be able to work remotely, which can help narrow the options significantly depending on your circumstances. If relocation isn\u2019t an option, make sure you\u2019re only applying to positions within commuting distance, and make sure you\u2019re able to make the commute comfortably. You don\u2019t want to apply for positions that won\u2019t work with your existing commitments, summer courses, or other employment you might be taking on. Make sure you\u2019re not only considering how well you fit the internship, but also how well the internship fits you and your goals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170801_ChildrensPublishing-009-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A book publishing\/printing professional sitting at a work table with materials in front of him speaks to Emerson students about a career in book printing.\" class=\"wp-image-2371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170801_ChildrensPublishing-009-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170801_ChildrensPublishing-009-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170801_ChildrensPublishing-009-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170801_ChildrensPublishing-009-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/170801_ChildrensPublishing-009-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Internship Application Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve got your<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/13mMYPgbCEyEGLE2ERlwTbEMpqzfoWcYW\/view?usp=sharing\"> application materials ready<\/a> and found the right places to apply, don\u2019t be afraid to reach out to the organization! If it\u2019s advertised with the position, it\u2019s never a bad idea to send the contact responsible for hiring an introductory email with your application materials. If you happen to speak with a recruiter or employer you\u2019re applying to work with <a href=\"https:\/\/emerson.joinhandshake.com\/events\/\">at an event<\/a>, make sure to reference your conversation in your cover letter or email.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you wait to hear back, take some time to prepare for interviews and research the organizations you\u2019ve applied to. If you haven\u2019t heard back a week or so after you submitted your application or had an interview, follow up with a short email or phone call to indicate that you\u2019re still interested in the position. Don\u2019t forget to send a thank-you email after you do meet with the hiring team.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you do secure a position (and we\u2019re confident you will\u2014hang in there!) make sure you\u2019re attentive to any final details or information that your employer may need to get the onboarding process started, and be sure you\u2019re ready to finalize everything on the academic side before your start date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Coordinating With Your School<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re planning to get academic credit, you\u2019ll likely need to coordinate the terms of your internship with your school. You may even need to have it approved before you can begin. Make sure you are familiar with all the requirements and the process you\u2019ll need to go through before you accept a position so that you don\u2019t find yourself tight on deadlines or stuck in an awkward situation with a potential employer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"974\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/ECCareerDev.png\" alt=\"Graphic reads: Career Development Center over top an orange, red, pink, and purple gradient. \" class=\"wp-image-2372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/ECCareerDev.png 974w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/ECCareerDev-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/websites.emerson.edu\/grad-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2022\/05\/ECCareerDev-768x331.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 974px) 100vw, 974px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At Emerson, all internships must begin within the first two weeks of the term.

You will also be required to enroll in a paired course in your field of study. One credit internships also require an accompanying course, but do not have to fall within your field of study.
