Working in an internship
· When applying for an internship the candidate must ensure they write a relevant cover letter.
· At an interview the applicant should be sure to express their interest in the industry as well as the company – interns are valued heavily on their enthusiasm for the industry and career path so this is an important area.
· Candidates should be prepared to be offered a very low wage, perhaps even just expenses. As these kind of positions are highly sought after and offer unique industry experience it’s common for the pay to be minimal. However this will pay off when the applicant can put the experience on their resume.
