Internships like majority of jobs, are discovered and filled through networks and personal recommendations. Internships also are how students start building the vital connections that will fuel the rest of their careers.

Key takeaways:

  • Express your gratitude to the person who helped you land the internship
  • Update your linked in profile –tell your story

What to listen for:

  • 02:04 Why you should acknowledge their help?
  • 02:36 How networks have created jobs
  • 03:58 How to reach out to the person that landed you the internship
  • 04:50 Action steps to tie-up your networking
  • 05:38 What to do if your internship is over

Quotes:

“Personal connections move resumes from the black hole of online applications onto a hiring manager’s desk.” [02:18]
