The Get That Internship Panel had some good tips on how to work your way up though internships by starting small and locally, and using those connections to help you move onto bigger, more competitive internships, and using past relationships to provide recommendations and prepare for interviews. I did notice though, that this panel focused heavily on internships in government fields. I wish that there could have been more STEM panelists to give advice to those of us going on a different path. Either way, there was some good advice provided, and coming from a person that has never had an internship before, I will definitely apply the tips and skills from these panelists in my future endeavors. It is definitely a scary thing to put yourself out there for scrutiny and rejection and feeling like a failure after getting denied by a bunch of people…. Anyways, you have to stay hopeful and I wish the best luck to everyone else applying for internships!
