Fall Internships

To pursue a fall internship, typically you want to begin contacting employers in late spring. If you’re lucky, you’ll be offered one.

Imagine this:

At the end of your summer internship, your supervisor calls you into her office and offers you a part-time internship in the fall. You’re shocked, happy, proud, and confused. You normally wouldn’t even consider juggling school and an internship, but it was a really good internship experience regarding new skill development and connections. If you say yes, you’ll bypass competition and interviews. While it didn’t exactly fall into your lap—you worked hard over the summer—and you know this type of opportunity isn’t easy to come by, you’re still unsure of how to respond. Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered.

Here are some things to consider about fall internships:

Attending classes and being a fall intern will require some sacrifices and time management, but if you buckle down and do a good job at both, you’ll develop practical skills and build a killer resume. If you’re worried about adding commute time to your fall internship schedule, ask if you can limit the number of days you’re in the office and if there are remote options. Plus, if you earn college credit for the internship, then you can spend less time in the classroom.

Work conditions might be different in the fall. If you spent your summer working side-by-side with other interns, in the fall, you could spend more time with full-time employees, seeing what it’s really like to be an employee. You might also experience peak season! Finally, completing a fall internship will give you more time to observe the company culture.

They want to invest in you and just might offer you a job when you finish school. If you accept the fall internship, you’ll have a better idea if you want to pursue a career at the company or in the industry.
