Students should be prepared to provide this information upon request. Therefore, networking is very important in this field. Alternatively, you may be interviewed by telephone. Be prepared to be interviewed in any language in which you claim proficiency. If you are interested in one geographic area, consider setting up as many interviews as you can, and paying for one trip to meet with many organizations.

There is no set timing for obtaining an internship. Different types of organizations may have different deadlines, some very early in the year before the internship is to start. If you have a specific geographic location or type of organization in which you are interested, you must start early in your research and be diligent in following up. What to Expect Although many employers provide opportunities for interns to become directly involved in substantive work, in other organizations interns are essentially office support. A large part of having a rewarding internship, therefore, is defining at the outset exactly what the position will entail.
