Be tactical when picking your final year internship, as it’s a stepping stone that can give momentum to your early career. More than just ‘finding an internship’, choosing the right one is a delicate balance between emotion and reason. It can be summed up in two questions:

  • Will I want to get up in the morning to go to work?

Balance desire and strategy, and follow this short guide to find an internship that suits you, and that will help you grow. Here are a series of questions to help you make the right choice.

Q&A

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s.

A good name is great to have on a CV. But more than all the ‘internship advice’ out there, nothing beats an internship where you are valued, trained and feel at home. To make the right choice, ask yourself:

- Is this a good addition to my CV? (a household name, a large company, a company that is well-known in its field, a fast-growing start-up, etc.)

- Do I want to do an internship abroad?

- Is this a place where I will feel comfortable and be able to learn?
(supervision from a line manager, atmosphere, team size, values that align with mine, stimulating environment, etc.)

- Will I be given useful and educational tasks? (responsibilities, practical work, room to express myself and progress)

 An internship isn’t just a box to tick. It’s an opportunity to train, practice, and reveal your potential. Here are some tips to evaluate the tasks on offer:

- Are the tasks clear, practical and interesting?

- Does this internship allow me to train and learn a trade?

- Will my current skills be useful? (comfort zone)

- Will I have the opportunity to develop certain skills?

- What new things will I learn? (learning zone)

- Will I be able to ‘shine’ by demonstrating skills I am good at? (zone of brilliance)

- Will I learn working methods that are transferable to other fields? I.E., following an Agile method could be useful throughout my career

- Will this internship improve my digital knowledge (natural referencing, online marketing, blockchain, etc.)?

- Will I feel useful?

- Does the job allow me to be impactful (do some strategic work, work on a meaningful topic)?

- Does it align with my goals if I already know the job and/or field in which I want to work?

Your education is your cornerstone

Your education is your whole journey thus far.

Talk about your specialised courses, your group projects, and your dissertation. Present your education and explain how it sets you apart: share your area of specialisation and information such as the topic of your final dissertation. If you have taken part in group projects, mention it! It proves that you know how to work as part of a team. 
List your education from most to least recent, along with all key info: name of the school, city, dates, diploma, and skills acquired. The latter can be technical (e.g. a computer language, knowledge of finance, or other) or soft skills (such as negotiation, institutional communication, coordination skills, etc.).
