How to Find an Internship
- Where would like to intern? Think about the type of internship, possible company and geographic location (city or state).
- Think about the type of internship experience you want to have. What skills do you want to build during this experience? Think about your long-term career path.
- Network on LinkedIn
and the Bobcat Network with professors, friends, family and other Bobcats.
- Ask questions about how they got to where they are now, ask for industry feedback, and ask for tips on how to break into the industry.
- Expand your network by asking if they know anyone else you need to meet and with whom to speak.
- Always follow up with people you meet.
- Social Media:
- LinkedIn – Get established since this is a professional networking site. Update your profile with your career accomplishments, company information and education.
- Twitter – Allows you to tap into community sharing similar interest. Look for opportunities to share your ideas, opinions and interests with people you respect professionally.
- Facebook – Great place to promote your professional brand. Post informational articles, follow trends, connect with your friends. Clean-up Facebook (remove any suspect photos) or make them private. Do not post anything you would not place on the front of the local newspaper.
- Prepare a Résumé – Assistance is through the Career Network
(5th Floor Baker Center).
- Where to look for an internship?
- Handshake - As an Ohio University student, you already have an account! Log in, fill out your profile and use the search tools to find opportunities from throughout the country and the world.
- Student Development Newsletter from the dean’s office - This is sent each week directly to your OHIO email in-box. If you aren't seeing it, search your Spam, Clutter or Junk folders for emails from "Scripps College of Communication via Handshake."
- Specific company websites – If you’re interested in a particular geographic area, you may need to look at the possibilities and then make inquiries. For example, if you want to intern at a newspaper, first make a list of the newspapers in the area and then do some research on their websites to see if they list internships. If not, you might contact them and let them know you are interested.
- Investigate – Not everyone lets us know about their internships so you might need to scout some out on your own through the following websites:
- Ohio internships
- National internships
- International internships

JOURNALISM students: After you have completed the Internship Report Form, your internship supervisor will receive an email from Ohio University Scripps College of Communication with an internship evaluation link and password that allows them to complete and return your internship evaluation. Your internship evaluation form is used to verify that you have completed your internships. After your internship supervisor completes your evaluation form, it will be sent to you academic advisor for approval. After your academic advisor approves your internship evaluation form, your DARS will be updated to reflect you have completed your internship requirement for your degree.
