Using LinkedIn to Find an Internship
Hello! :)
How can I announce that I'm looking for an internship on LinkedIn? I was thinking about posting a creative announcement...
Can you please guide me?
Ty!!
an**
an** = anal?
if yes, DM me, I have an internship for you.
Lol absolutely do not do that. That's cringe as hell.
Hit up members of your network whom you have enough rapport with to ask if they have anything going at their firm.
LOOOL pleasee do it then screenshot and post it on here!
In my humble opinion, LinkedIn floats in this weird space of "you need to have, but it won't really help you."
I keep an up to date profile, congratulate people on milestones, etc but it has never been a strong networking tool and not for lack of trying.
My experience echoes what others have said, internships come from your network and building a network takes times. It is very rare that you can simply say "I am looking for internships, please give me an internship." Usually when people talk about opportunities with someone, they already have rapport and have come to them for career advice. Personally I have a lot of mentors I keep in touch with, share career updates with and ask for advice. I have yet to ask any of them for a job because I know I am too green for the areas they are in and I would basically be asking for an above and beyond favour.
I went on the Mergers & Inquisitions and some WSO thread advice which is basically contact people directly via email, explain who you are, that you are curious about they do and ask if they could spare some time to tell you about what they do. Not everyone responds, but people are more generous than you think, I couldn't believe when an equity sales MD agreed for coffee with me when I was back office mortgages!
It will take time, people will not be receptive sometimes, but if you put yourself out there and are honest it will happen.
Why are women like this. 90% of the cringe LinkedIn posts I see come from girls. Just network and cold email local firms don’t make one of those “joke” announcements where you say I’m blessed and honored to be rejected from Amazon or something like that.
cause they're oblivious. all their life dudes throw themselves at them and other girls support them.
with dudes, you go through rejections all your life, and your bodies shit on you, so you know that making cringey announcements on LinkedIn can be a bad idea.
