Internships


Crafting a strong internship application
Applying for an internship is quite similar to applying for a job. There are, however, some small, but essential, differences. For example, application for an internship is more likely to focus on courses and experience gained through personal interests and maybe a student job. The employers are also aware that you don’t come with a lot of hands-on experience yet, but that only makes it more important for you to show that you are interested in, and actively seek out, new experiences.
