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.

An internship during your studies can open many doors afterwards. This goes both for finding a student job and searching for a full-time job once you graduate.
