Internship Options

[creole]

have any of yall been in internships? what did you intern as? did you gain anything from interning? how did you present yourself when they had to interview you? how long was your internship?


i myself want to interview into famous industries like teen vogue or out, but i don't know where to begin.

I never had one. I worked four summers as a web developer, then as a research assistant, then I spent a summer installing phone jacks and networking ports, so I never had time. Now I work at a literary magazine.

I realize that my response is completely unhelpful, but here's a tip for presenting yourself: do some research on the place so you know what you're talking about when you go in for an interview, don't have sweaty palms, and just present yourself as confidently as you can.

don't have sweaty palms,

eat a banana before the interview. the potassium will calm you and help with nerves. i used to eat like... 4 bananas before every piano competition >.<

anyways... my internship wasn't really a real internship. i basically followed a surgeon around. it was a cool experience, i got to go into the exam room, watch surgeries, etc, but it was more of a 3 month job shadow than an internship. i actually have a friend going into PR that's interning for IMG. she got to work ny fashion week and stuff. she said it was craaazy.
