<p>im just trying to get ahead of the game and ive visited my career center several times already and theyve been really helpful. i also just wanted to ask CC'ers to see if they know anything about 1st-years/freshmen getting internships. do you guys know any companies that do this? if so, how could i obtain one? thanks</p>
<p>Two suggestions: 1. the Princeton Review website has a section on internships. 2. the UC Berkeley website (berkeley.edu) has a large amount of content on this topic. Check them out first.</p>
<p>I got an internship for the summer after my first-year of college. I started looking in December and by March I had plenty of offers. I think it would be much more difficult convincing a company or organization to hire you for an internship during the school year because then you have pressure to do well in school and at work. It's best (in my opinion, obviously) to do the summer thing and then transition into the school year.</p>
