Even though the semester is not even halfway done, you should be close to securing an internship offer by now. Most companies hiring summer interns like to get this recruiting completed by the end of fall. The programs usually start in May and last only a few months, so no time will be wasted in the spring traveling to your campus to recruit. A lot of students wonder why they aren't getting internships, and most of the time it's because they are waiting until spring when there are fewer companies hiring interns and more students looking to be those interns. Get out there early, secure your offer, and relax knowing that you have a job for next summer that doesn't involve flipping burgers, pushing carts, or waiting tables. Internships will give you professional experience that will look great on the resume, which in another year or two could be the key to finding a full-time position. Think about it.
