Applied to an Internship. Follow up?

Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>I applied for a paid summer internship in the education field around May 5.Supposedly, the last day to apply is May 30. It’s driving me crazy because I really want this internship and I want to know if I got it. I think I’m qualified. But I also want to know b/c if I get it, no summer school, if I don’t, then I go to summer school. </p>

<p>Anyway, I was thinking of following up today but I’m clueless as to what to say. I also don’t want to seem desperate. </p>

<p>I was going to:</p>

<li>Ask when applicants would know </li>
<li>Reiterate how much I would like the internship</li>
<li>Ask about the placement process </li>
</ol>

<p>Is it out of line to follow up? Are these questions okay?? Is phone or e-mail better?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>Call back in a couple days and just ask if they got everything, if they need anything else from you, etc. I learned that if you want to get the internship, you should always do a follow-up call.</p>

<p>I would not, however, ask when applicants would know, since their application date hasn’t even closed yet. Well good luck with that.</p>

You should contact them. You shouldn’t worry about seeming “desperate”, especially with the current economic situation most people would be worred about finding jobs.</p>
