International Internships

A summer internship can be a great way to build your future in the adult workforce – or it can be a big disappointment. Are you sitting around with your fellow interns, swapping jokes because you have little do? This temporary gig is supposed to be more than a paycheck. The whole point of it is to further your education. You have more to say about how your internship goes than you think. If you aren’t gaining the skills and connections you need, talk to your boss about how to make your experience better. Or even if you are busy, and realize you don’t like this occupation, there are lessons to be learned. An internship is too valuable to waste. You haven’t landed an internship yet? The good news is that companies are still hiring (and check out these last-minute suggestions to increase your job leads). If you have locked down an internship, make the most of it by following these 10 tips: 1. Don’t put up with a do-nothing internship. Horror stories abound about interns sidelined into ind...

The US State Department has launched a six-week online course to highlight the importance of India The US government wants its students to know more about India—from its ancient trade history to the present day start-up ecosystem as the country’s growth story may have “far-reaching implications” on the “life and career” of the young Americans. The US State Department, in collaboration with the Ohio State University, has launched a six-week online course beginning Monday, days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi begins his US visit later this week, to highlight the importance of India. The course, developed through a grant from the US Department of State’s Passport to India initiative, is designed to introduce people of all backgrounds and ages to India and its potential as a destination for study, research, work and entrepreneurship. The Passport to India initiative seeks to increase the number of young Americans annually learning in India on study abroad and internship programs. The c...

During Meg Delaney’s internship at strategic communications and advisory firm ICR in Midtown in 2012, she expressed her interest in working there full-time to her supervisor — a move that positioned her well two years later when she graduated from Fairfield University. The 24-year-old Upper East Sider managed to segue her daily responsibilities of morning client coverage reports, brainstorming and identifying trends into a full-time job offer while maintaining school contacts by periodically emailing them just to see how things were going. She explains, “When I started nearing graduation, I emailed more frequently with my internship supervisor to let her know I was interested in working at ICR post-graduation and to determine if any positions were expected to open.” Delaney was put in touch with the managing director of the tech group and the rest is history: She was hired as an associate in September 2014. Technically, the internship was similar to an audition. “I looked at my interns...

If you are in college and hoping to use an internship to get your foot in the door of the financial industry, you are not alone. The competition for such slots is bound to be intense, but the good news is that there are certain things that you can do to enhance your chances of landing a position that will provide you with the skills and experience necessary to succeed in a variety of finance-related fields. This article will highlight some of the important considerations to check off the proverbial list before going after that internship. After all, if you know what career path you want to take, why not get started as quickly as possible? 1. Double- and Triple-Check Your Resume First things first, you need to have a clean and clear resume. Proofread your resume for any spelling errors. Don't just trust your computer's spell-check program - and, if possible, have someone else read it too. If there are any spelling, style or grammar mistakes, correct them. Also, search your re...

Those long, lazy summer holidays, filled with cricket, Rasna, and 12-hour Shinchan marathons are a thing of the past – a part of school and childhood. In college, holidays mean only one thing — internship. Once high stipends and big names influenced a student’s decision on where to intern. But lately, a noticeable shift in this trend is seen. Students are willing to work for minimum stipends as long as they get to work on interesting brands and have a wider networking exposure, as these are things money cannot buy. The obvious questions: why work for small stipends and unknown brands? Why work at a startup? The answer is simple: What would you rather be: a clerk at work or a contributing member of a project? If your answer is the latter, then head for a startup. I have been working at Lowfundwala Productions, a startup that tells startup stories, for quite some time. In this article I will share my eight reasons for interning with a startup. 1) You are trusted and considered responsibl...

When you’re weighing your options for a summer internship, it’s easy to gravitate toward a big-name company. Who wouldn’t want Procter and Gamble, JP Morgan, or Google on their resume? But there’s a lot to be gained by working for a smaller company, especially when you’re first making your entrance into the workforce. Working for an up-and-coming tech company may not have the brand-name recognition that your friends in finance and consulting are looking for, but it will give you a host of real-life experience that will be hard to get in any other industry. Here are just a few reasons why working for a startup this summer makes a ton of sense. You’ll Have Real Responsibilities At an early-stage startup, time is valuable, and every team member is critical—including interns. This means that you’ll be working on projects that directly impact users, and probably immediately. Rolling your first feature to production or publishing your first blog post can be scary, but working through these ...
