Tips for applying for an internship
General advice from us, the same for every internship. It is not what this organisation says; that is above.
- Check first whether it is paid. If it is not, work out how you will cover transport, food and rent for the whole period.
- Say what you want to learn and why this organisation; interns are often chosen for interest and reliability more than experience.
- School projects, clubs and volunteering count as experience here. Name what you did in each.
- If it asks for a letter from your school, ask for it early; offices can be slow.
If there is an interview or a test
- Expect questions about what you are studying and why you want this.
- Be honest about when you are free and for how long.
- Ask who you would work with day to day.
