Looking for an internship?

Wouldn’t you like to know what an internship would be like before even experiencing it, not only internships in your area, but also opportunities across the country?

While searching through the U.S. College Blog Network, I came across an interesting discussion of the Web site InternshipRatings.com. I had never heard of this Web site.

In most cases, college students are scrambling to come up with places to intern and gain necessary experience before entering the real working world. This Web site gives you a sneak peek at places where others across the country have interned and insight into their personal experiences.

With a map of the United States on their main page, you are able to click on any state and see what listings have been created by those that already have had the internship opportunity. Although at this point, there are a limited number of internships listed, it is growing as more and more people come to know about the site. You will learn what each position has to offer, including fair hours and salary compensation. If you have had an experience of your own, you can add a new internship and talk about it for others to see.

This site creates discussion about different areas of interest. From accounting to advertising/PR, any internship opportunity is welcomed to the site. This site was started to spark conversation between those who have had different experiences, both good and bad.

This Web site is helpful for those that are planning future endeavors of their own. To hear others’ opinions about specific places is important to knowing what to expect before going into the gig.

Although this Web site is a beneficial tool in many ways, users of the site have to keep in mind that all comments are those of the actual interns and do not include the employer’s side; the comments of the interns may just be merely opinions.
