So I'm in a real crunch now frantically searching and applying for internships. Here are a few useful tips that I've come to learn (the hard way):

1. Have different versions of your resume for different jobs.

2. Start as early as possible. Remember that when you need things like letters of recommendations, be sure to notify these people at least two weeks in advance.

3. Spread your seeds far and wide. You never know where you'll end up or how, so just go out there and find opportunities that interest you. As long as you're making an effort, things will work out. Even if you don't get that coveted paid internship at that awesome production company. So check everywhere...Craigslist, Monster, the alumnae/career network at your school, your neighbors, friends-- seriously, anywhere. There is help out there, you just have to find it.

4. If you're applying for creative positions, it helps to have samples of your work online. Some employers won't accept applications without a portfolio of work. I didn't have anything officially available for viewing until last week, and I had to rush to make final touches and post my work online. I'm actually using another blog to host my work, which I will make a link to in another post.
