One of the biggest concerns that many others in law school have is landing a good internship. After your first year, it will be highly difficult to find an internship. Most of them are geared towards second and third year student, however all hope is not lost. If you want to land an internship during your first year, here are some tips.
1) Start your search early on, a month before winter break is ideal.
2) Do not be so set on a particular internship, aim for many different kinds
3) Get your resume tweaked by your schools career center, they are usually very helpful
4) If you land an interview, send a thank you card afterwards
5) Ask around; (I landed my first year internship by asking a classmate what they were doing with
their summer)
6) Do not be picky about whether or not the internship is paid more than likely it will not be paid
7) Do not be so bummed if you do not get an internship your first year, its only your first year have
fun!
