Hey everyone! I'm currently a junior, and I'm very eager to find some internships for next fall that will be remote. Any advice on where I should start searching or any specific internships I should look into? Thanks in advance!
Hi there! Understandably, searching for remote internships can seem daunting at first, but rest assured, there is a plethora of opportunities out there in various fields. Many companies have shifted to a largely remote set-up due to recent circumstances and have continued to offer internships in a remote setting.
To begin, it's important to identify your areas of interest or the field of study you want to pursue. Is there a specific industry or role you're interested in, such as marketing, data analysis, or software development? This will help narrow down your search.
Once you have a clear idea of your preferred field, you can start looking at popular job listing websites. Sites like Indeed, Glassdoor, and LinkedIn often provide a variety of internship opportunities. LinkedIn, especially, can be a useful tool as it allows you to network with professionals in your field and learn about opportunities that might not be posted elsewhere. Make sure to use the right keywords, such as 'Remote Internship,' and be as specific about your particular field or industry as possible.
Additionally, consider checking out websites that specialize in remote job listings, like FlexJobs and Remote.co. These often list internship opportunities, too.
If your college has a career services center, they may have a list of remote internships or can assist in your search. Institutions often partner with different companies and organizations to offer internships to their students.
Furthermore, it’s a good idea to reach out to companies directly that you're interested in. Many companies are open to inquiries even if they don't have any positions listed on their website.
Bear in mind, that different internships will have varying application processes. While some might require submitting a resume and cover letter, others may include an online application or a preliminary interview. Always aim to showcase how your skills and experiences align with the internship’s description and requirements.
Hope this helps and good luck with your internship search!
