Definitely keep trying. I know it's very difficult to get a freshman internship because you most likely don't have any office experience on your resume, but it makes getting the next internship easier and easier. I didn't get my internship until March, so there's still time for you. I did my freshman internship at a wealth management office, and they always need help, so I'd start there. I also did a few temp jobs in the winter inputting in some marketing data to show that I did have office experience.
Another way good way to get something on your resume is to go to your school's entrepreneurship office and see if they can connect you with a company.
Hi, how did you ask for an internship?
Just ask if they offer any internship programs or if they need extra help in the summer
I didn’t get an internship until May my freshman year. Definitely caught a stroke of luck. But keep at it you’ll find something soon. Don’t limit your options either because the doors open for you as a freshman will always be small.
Worst case you don’t get anything and you just focus on building skills instead. It’s not the end of the world.
Anything that you end up getting is a plus! Don’t worry and keep trying
Hey Marco, I just landed an IB internship my freshman year at a non-target. I would be more than happy to help you. PM me.
Hey bro noticed you said you got an IB internship freshman year, and would love to know how you did it. Do you mind answering a couple of questions?
Yes, absolutely. PM me
I spam applied during finals season my freshman year and got something - don't give up!
