Not only college students but also high school students can apply for an internship (实习) in summer
vacation. An internship is a very good opportunity for getting trained in a field of students" choices. Summer
internships for high school students in fact provide an easy way by which the students come to know how an
organization actually operates. The internship helps them to increase their knowledge"s depth. It is an efficient
way of learning communication skills and this kind of job helps students learn how to recognize and appreciate
work of others.
As a high school student, you can try for full or part-time internships and you can choose paid or unpaid
positions. If you want to apply for a paid internship, at first you"re required to make a decision about what you
want to do. Students interested in home of office decoration can approach an interior (室内的) designing firm
or students who are fond of photography or acting can approach an advertising firm. You may consult your
teachers as they"ll be able to guide you in the best way in this regard.
Then you need to make preparations for internship interviews carefully by studying internship interview
questions. You need to prepare a proper resume that will contain your educational qualification and information
on what you"re studying. While applying, you need to mention the purpose of your internship application and
you are expected to explain how you can deliver a good performance at your workplace.
Now when it comes to the amount you are going to earn, you should be satisfied with whatever you are
getting. The certificate earned after the successful competition of the internship is much more valuable.
Unpaid internships are as valuable as paid internships. They are available in innumerable fields like animal
care, computer science, entertainment (amusement parks, national parks) and not-for-profit social services,
etc.
