Internships Abroad Atlanta GA

Many university students choose to gain experience in their field of study by seeking summer internships abroad. The idea of working abroad may sound very attractive, but the search for a desirable internship can also seem overwhelming. Where do you begin?

1. University Career Office-The best place to begin searching for a summer internship abroad is at your university's career resource center. These resource centers often post recruiting schedules that have been sent to them by overseas companies searching for interns. In some cases, these resource centers actually conduct interviews for the recruiting company, and then suggest specific interns for positions that the company might have available.
   
   
2. Alumni Offices-Your university's alumni office is another excellent resource for finding summer internships abroad. Alumni associations often have branches in other parts of the world, and they work with graduates to find employment opportunities and internships as well. Your university may maintain an alumni registry that gives contact information for the country in which you are interested. If so, you should be able to contact that branch of the association either through a letter outlining your degree and internship preferences or through e-mail.
   
   
3. International Student Organizations-Many international student organizations offer students searching for summer internships abroad a wealth of information and resources. These organizations can put you in touch with corporations willing to host summer interns, as well as companies who recruit college students and graduates for internships, some of which are even paying positions.
