How to get an internship?
2 points by adrusi on March 22, 2012 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
I'm a high school student in the Baltimore/DC area and I'm interested in getting an internship and I'm interested in getting an internship at a web company or related field next September when I can get a driver's license.

What strategies should I use to increase my changes of getting an internship, since most internships in these fields officially state that they are limited to college students.

How should I get my name out there, which skills should I advertise? I'm unwilling to accept a dead-end unpaid internship, but I'm fine taking that will either provide me with good connections or other opportunities.



I'm a high school student as well (NYC area) and am faced with the same question!


HN often has job postings for full time positions and internships. You can also visit startuply and startupers - good resources. Incidentally, MoviePass is looking for interns in NYC to start in Customer Support.
