BMMBox, a one-stop spot for media students in Mumbai, also provides member students with information about openings for summer internships. “Companies approach us and after a careful selection, we put up requirements for interns on our websites.

Since a lot of the websites members are media graduates who are now working in the industry, the internship page is replete with opportunities,” explained Hilonee Furia, Editor and Marketing Strategist, BMMBox.

Other websites such as Twenty19.com, letsintern.com and internships.com can help students know about internship openings.

Internship interview

Students who have a better idea about the position they have applied for and what they aim to gain from internship programmes are likely to have an upper hand. Precision while answering questions is another pre-requisite. Students must be confident about what they know and be able to apply those concepts to crack situational questions thrown at them.

A respectable social media presence also adds to one’s personality assessment by the prospective employers. Facebook notes, presence on Linked.in, Blogs and Twitter links may contribute greatly to your selection for an internship opportunity.
