learn. earn. intern.

I have heard students convinced that the reason they don’t have an internship is because there just aren’t any out there.

Follow up:

I wonder where these students are looking, because I get calls from employers every day who are looking for internships.

And, even in this current economic situation – actually, many times, because of this current economic situation – employers are looking for MORE interns. Sure, it helps that interns often cost less than full-time employees. But, from an employer’s perspective, internships can be a very cost-effective method of recruiting, too. And everyone is looking to save some time and money if they can. The downturn in the economy just makes this thriftiness more urgent.

So – what is my proof? As of today, there are 127 internships open at www.neointern.net. Right now, the two types of internships most in demand are marketing and information technology.
