THis is not the right time to apply for an internship as i dont have the passion for the subject yet. Maybe some other stage
joie de vivre is feeling better
I did two paid internships
3 years ago
The first one was at the end of my senior year of college. I knew that this guy I knew, Earl, had been working at the local Neighborhood Housing Services. I ran into him one day, and asked how it was going. He said he had quit two weeks ago. Oh really? I ran down to their office and asked if they needed someone to take his place. They sure did. I worked for that NHS until the grant under which I was hired ran out. After doing other things for a couple years, I came back to that NHS and was hired into a professional full-time position.
When I left that job at that NHS, when I went off to grad school at Cornell, I asked the NHS there if they needed someone experienced. Armed with my glowing letter of recommendation, they hired me on a half-time basis. This wasn’t, I guess, officially an “internship” like the job I had at the other NHS. But it was good professional experience. This part-time job, coupled with my fellowship, meant that I didn’t have to borrow any money to attend grad school, and bolstered my resume for when I finished my advanced degree.
