If you are posting an unpaid internship in the U.S., please make sure you are following the guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of Labor which state the following rules:
The internship, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to training which would be given in an educational environment;
The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern;
The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff;
The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded;
The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship and
The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship.

Hi everyone! I was asked back for Urbn interview day and am super excited. I was just wondering if anyone else has been asked back yet? Can't wait to see everyone there.
Hello! First time poster here.
So here’s the deal, I am doing an unpaid internship at a college alcohol and drug program. I’ve fulfilled my 400 hours, actually have completed 425 hours. My professors say I can quit going, they are encouraging me to stop going. But when I bring it up to my boss, he is “not ready” to let me go but I literally just sit on my ass doing nothing and I feel he just wants me here just because. How do I quit when I feel he is keeping me shackled? I have graduation and packing to do to graduate college. I’m feeling stuck! I need device on how to approach this situation
Hello,
I don't think I've ever fumbled quite like this for an internship application. Trying to soothe the wound right now.
I'm applying in the marketing / pr / journalism field. I applied for my dream role this morning in a panic when I realized the deadline for it was 10 a.m sharp rather than 5 p.m today. In doing so, I made mistakes in my cover letter that I had to correct by sending a revised version, and there are still some discepencies because I was in such a rush to submit the application. I genuinely had the due date for 5 p.m (DEC 2) in my google calendar only to look this morning and find that the due date was 10 a.m. Submitted it at 10:30 with my cover letter, resume, bylines etc and clips of my work. I have the worst feeling about it.
This is a lesson in preparedness overall. I told myself throughout last week "it's fine, I can relax for the holidays and write my cover letter monday." I'm always working and perpetually burnt out. I only have two internships from early high school going into college and one internship confirmed for the summer. Nothing for the spring. I am a senior who's taking an extra semester, and overall I feel incredibly awful. I had one opportunity to impress people I looked up to and I fumbled it. I've applied to numerous internships with proper syntax, perfect grammar and never gotten a word back. I've been perfect for 50+ internship opportunities which FINALLY scored me one. But I just messed up the perfect internship opportunity that I've been holding onto like a light.
Does anyone have any recommendations? How do I rectify or make myself a better candidate in the very least for Fall 2025. Will this internship remember my awful application submitted 30 minutes late with a sentence typo during the fall, or is this just something I'm overthinking?
Edit: I am one of those people who writes individual cover letters for each of my opportunities. I do copy and paste some information over, but for the most part, I try to keep my cover letters fresh and tailored to my opportunities. Realizing that it may be a bad idea to do so.
Hey so I have two already scheduled interviews and now a third company has offered me an interview spot but both their suggested time slots have are during the interviews I already have scheduled.
How should I respond asking them for a different time slot? Is it okay if I mention that I have different interviews and therefore need a different time? If it helps the third company is probably my favourite of the three.
Sorry if this seams like an obvious question this is my first time applying for internship positions!
Hi, I'm in the final year of BE computer engineering, and we need to submit an internship certificate that we have done an internship for at least 30 days. I need one, but the internships we are provided from college are priced at 3k. I need an online internship or any startup that can provide it. I'm happy to work/learn if it's an interesting and supportive job.
Hey everyone,
I’m currently a junior (3rd year) IT student at a Tier 3 college with a CGPA of 8.3 (heading towards 8.5 by the end of this semester). I’m putting in a lot of effort to improve my skills, particularly in Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA), and I’m aiming to secure a good internship for the summer of 2025.
As I’m on a semester break, I have some extra time to work on projects and enhance my skills. I’m really interested in internships in AI and Software Engineering. I’ve recently started exploring finance(trading) too, so I’d love to work on projects that combine these areas, or at least give me a strong foundation in them.
Here’s where I need advice:
I’m open to any suggestions or resources you can recommend!
Has anyone done an internship through any of the AmCham locations? bonus if you did it in Beijing
Hello all,
As you probably read from the Title, I am a current second-year undergrad pre-law student looking for a summer internship. If anyone has any recommendations, feel free to share them. It feels like I have hit a brick wall recently.
I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.
has anyone heard from live nation? application status was under consideration as soon as i applied and im sure thats some kind of glitch haha
Hello Community,
I am an MS Data Science student in the US, admitted in Fall 2024, with more than 3 years of experience in backend development from my home country. I am currently searching for summer internships for 2025.
I have been trying every possible way to apply for numerous internships posted on platforms like Indeed, LinkedIn, Dice, and CareerBuilder. I also tailor my resume and cover letter according to each job description, but I have not received any responses so far. It feels almost impossible to even get an internship call here in the US. Even i am frequently applying in on campus jobs as well. But it's like a jammed competition here in US . For a single role there are number of numerous applicants. I am just Pissed off.
Well! I am making full use of my current time in learning DSA, cloud computing technology. Building my portfolio and have joined communities that helps students to grow their porfolio.
Someone suggested applying to startups, and I learned about the Y Combinator platform for startup opportunities. I have searched for internships there and applied as well.
However, I feel hopeless and completely stressed about the job market situation. What should I do? What effective steps should I take to secure an internship in tech?
While I am networking a lot, I would prefer to save that option for job hunting after completing my program.
I would greatly appreciate your assistance and advice. Thank you for your support!
Hello! I recently applied to a PM internship at dream company of mine. I've been trying to reach out to people at the company to refer me and also tried reaching out to the hiring manager but have heard nothing. Would it be beneficial to make a product case study and submit it to the hiring manager to express my strong interest for the role? I'm really stumped on what I can do to ensure I can at least make it to the interviewing stage or stand out in my application in any way.
I got an InMail earlier this week from a recruiter at one of my dream companies for a role that I cannot find anywhere on Linkedin or the careers page. She shared a link to it, which is how I applied, but is this something that has happened to you guys before?
Will this be treated as an internal referral?
Has anyone who applied to the Paramount Summer 2025 internship program heard back yet?
Hi everyone,
I’m a final-year I.T student looking for an internship in full-stack web development. I’ve worked on few projects and have skills in MERN stack development.
I’d love advice on where to find opportunities or how to stand out in applications. Thanks!
Just wondering if I should offer intership for software developers. I mean freshers obviously but also experienced folks would be great. I am trying to figure out if candidates would be willing to work at open source software companies as it will be unpaid, mainly because open source software companies don't make much money. Almost all software is given out free. What do you all think? Would it even help to some extent using interns for us to maintain docs and get some basic help? This is still in discussion. Not an offering. Dont ask for company details or other stuff. I can tell the tech stack - Java, wordpress, ElectronJS

Hey guys, I have a Microsoft interview for a SWE internship in Redmond in 10 days. I’m asking if anyone would be so kind as to help me with a mock interview? I’ve been practicing leetcode for a few weeks so I have a grasp of some of the basics
Hi there! I'm looking for internships as a sophomore in HS, but most that I find aren't available for me. Does anyone know any? (I attend a HS in Maryland, my GPA is 3.9+, I have an interest in business and law. LMK if you need any other info!)
Thanks!
I managed to find this start-up company that works with optical spectroscopy. It is in Boston, but is looking to establish part of its production in Mexico, specifically in my city. I am a fourth year student of Engineering Physics and I have already passed two interviews. On Monday I have the interview with the main engineer, with whom I am going to work. Any advice for that interview? Do you think it will be a very technical interview?
I was told that they will be giving financial help for the internship, but I really don't know how much to expect, have any of you had experience doing internships for foreign companies?

What are best platforms to apply for internships in India ?m
Hi! Basically the above.
I'm an undergraduate junior majoring in Neuroscience. My school has an option for a semester/year-long abroad full time internship/work that I can do. It's like taking a gap-year but while I'm still registered as a student. The only catch is that the job/internship has to be outside of the United States. Let me know if anyone's done any spring/fall paid work or know of any programs that accept undergrad students.
Thanks!
hello! does anyone have any recs as to any co-ops that are open every fall, particularly any tech or marketing ones in the US? I'm looking to take my fall quarter off next year (senior year) and i think a co-op would be really beneficial to me instead of trying to graduate early. i know apps for these probably don't open up until January so I'm just planning ahead!
