Hi yall, newbie here, wanted to know if any international students did an internship in the USA? Would love to know your experience in the USA and the way you landed your internship. Necessary things for resume etcetera.
Are you currently enrolled at a US university?
It’s extremely difficult to find an internship from abroad if you also need a visa to work in the US. Networking is usually your best bet. Maybe your professors, classmates or family friends know someone in the US? Maybe there’s a trade group that facilitates internships for university students in your home country? (These are often placements that require fluency in another language. E.g. I know someone from Germany who did a 6-month internship with a German travel agency in the US, where she was working closely with German tourists.)
OK. So, I am not enrolled in a US university. I’m doing engineering in Malaysia. I have seen some people online getting internships in the US from other countries like India, Germany etcetera. So thats why I asked the question. I would definitely look into trade assosiations. Seems like a good way to help me out with this matter. But either way, thanks for helping me out. Much appreciated.
I don’t think that a US internship is going to happen unless you already have a US connection and have a visa. What were you planning on doing after the internship?
