Tips for Selecting a Good Internship
An outstanding internship can be the catalyst for profound personal change. Here are some helpful questions to think about in finding the "right" placement:
- What type of internship would fit well with my major or personal interests?
- What type of prior work or volunteer experience was I particularly passionate about?
- What type of prior work or volunteer experience do I want to avoid repeating?
- What area(s) have I always had an interest in but have never pursued?
- What type of projects do I enjoy doing?
- In what type of work environment do I thrive?
- Do I want to work with a Christian or secular organization?
- Is there a particular group of people (e.g. children, elderly, disabled, specific ethnic group, battered women, homeless) with whom I would enjoy working?
We have connections with many organizations who are doing good work and who are eager to help an intern learn by doing. For more information on L.A. Term internships, contact us.
