How To Find A Summer Internship

Summer is almost near and it is time to start looking for a summer internship. Here are some simple steps to finding a summer internship in a industry you would like to work in. Opportunities can often be found on company Web sites and more recently on social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn.

"TheStreet has many tips for those seeking internships:

• Talk with teachers - many organizations turn to professors to locate potential interns
  
• Use your school - most colleges have a career services center that can offer advice, counselors and job fairs
  
• Network with friends
  
• Go straight to the source - it's helpful to talk with a company's human resources department to learn about internship possibilities
  
• update your resume
  
• Practice interviewing
  
• Choose the right references - it's important to choose a diverse group, including previous employers, professors and coaches
  
• look beyond your comfort zone - location shouldn't prevent you from applying for opportunities, and some companies will pay for relocation expenses
  
• don't rely on just one source - apply to more than one internship and use all available sources
  

Remember it's never too late - you won't know if positions are still available unless you ask. Once you've obtained an internship, there are a few steps you can take to prepare, according to Monster Career Advice: accept an offer verbally and in writing, continue to study the organization you will be working for to prepare for your position, buy internship-appropriate clothing, make sure all transportation and living arrangements are in order and that you'll be able to get to work on time and show up a few minutes early on your first day.

Getting A Summer Internship With a Multi-Million Dollar Concrete Company

Let me introduce myself. My name is Alex Llamas. I am a student at California State University, Chico, majoring in Concrete Industry Management. The CIM Patron group supports the CIM program with substantial funding as well as provides internships and other learning opportunities. The Patrons are typically CEO's of companies who have committed to supporting the program because they see the need for many new employees for the concrete industry. The Concrete Industry Management program gets students ready for management and other types of positions in all types of companies. There are five universities across the nation that offer the CIM degree. Every year, in order to help students find internships and jobs, the CIM program sends a group of their students to Las Vegas for the World of Concrete. That is where I got my summer internship with a Company that paid me $750 a week to work for them during the summer. The company constructs dams and water resource world-wide and put me to work in all departments of the company. Because of the internship experience, I now have a job available with that company after graduation. Below is just a little something I was able to be a part of. Enjoy!
