Dear Mayank Sir,
I am a college student and my summer vacations are currently going on.
Last year, I had applied for a few internships through a popular internship website and got selected for three. Of these, I chose one which promised to teach marketing skills but I got ripped off. It was a con job where we had to spend our own money making phone calls and eventually didn’t even get reimbursed, forget getting paid.
How does one directly approach companies for internships so that they take you seriously, especially when you don’t have experience?
Thank you.
Wayne
Hi Wayne.
Today, contacts of the concerned company and its hiring managers are easily available on networking sites like LinkedIn.
You can target the companies and then reach out to them through networking and job sites.
Most companies have their own web sites so you can apply through them as well.
Companies always prefer a direct candidate rather than through a consultant or another site (in your case, it turned out to be con).
All the best!
