Academic Search Engine Knobull Promotes Internships For Enhanced Career Growth

BOSTON - Amzeal -- Lynn Bentley, President of Knobull announced. "You stand the best chance of finding the perfect internship if you employ several different strategies. Networking, looking for internship postings, identifying potential employers through classified ads, the LinkedIn postings, or by searching online are all ways to begin conducting your internship search. Knobull offers Career Planning and Academic Coaching programs to support the search for an internship process. Finding an internship requires planning, but the results are definitely worth the effort. Here are recommendations for those seeking a successful internship."

Be aware that certain industries and internships have early deadlines and recruit and hire as early as November. Beginning your internship search during winter break affords you additional lead time. It can also give you the opportunity to make valuable connections with alumni or professionals within organizations of interest prior to returning to college. You can check with your college's Career Services Office for assistance and to find out which internships recruit early.

Decide what you want to do, but don't worry about being too specific. Gaining experience in a number of career fields is ideal if you are unsure about the career you want to pursue. Think about what you enjoy and how that might parlay into a career.  Do you enjoy watching shows on finance and investing? Home improvement? History? Are you interested in making a difference in the world? Internships can give you exposure to opportunities and a chance to sample new and exciting career fields.

Speak with family, friends, faculty, college advisors, and counselors at your college about what type of internship you want and when and where you want to do it.
