And with regard to searching online for internships, it is especially important to have some sort of guide or roadmap so you don’t have to start your search from scratch. Over the next several days we will be posting four simple rules you should keep in mind while perusing the web for internships. Therefore, consider the posts that follow this week and next as your roadmap to finding an internship—something which will both help to point you in the right direction and provide you with advice which will, hopefully, assist you in finding your ideal internship!
