Getting an internship as a TESU student

[keepsingin]

Check Internships.com and LinkedIn, that's how I landed 2 remote internships. You have to wade through a LOT of scams, but there are some awesome opportunities still. I contacted a lot of potential offers and none of them asked for my GPA, so that's not an across the board thing. A polished resume and a cover letter that will wow them goes a long way, especially if you can show them that you're everything you advertised yourself as! lol

I couldn't get any professional recommendations but my boss accepted a former music teacher and a friend as a reference. I was worried they wouldn't like that I didn't have a prof. reference, but it wasn't an issue at all.

This is something I posted in another thread:

Thought I'd post this tidbit for good measure. I read it on LinkedIn, and found it true, that legitimate companies will NOT text you initially, they will email, and they will not "interview" over chat/hangout, they will interview over the phone/Skype. Another thing, if the company site is not secure (httpS vs. http) then it should be questioned. Of course, scams will also email, but they usually have other giveaways like spelling/grammar, giving multiple aliases in one email, ask to interview over chat, ask for sensitive information, etc.
