<p>Hey there, I was always under the impression that a Junior year internship was the internship you did after your JR year, and a senior internship was done after your senior year. I've recently been reading and I think I'm wrong in this assumption. Can anyone clarify?</p>
<p>Why would this matter?</p>
<p>Because I am coming up to my Junior year, and I wanted to have a Jr. and Sr. internship before I go out into the job market. I need to know how to arrange my schedule to get fit to start applying for the internships I want. All I'm looking for is a clarification on this, not suggestions or anything else.</p>
<p>I've never heard of internships being classified as a Jr. internship or Sr. internship. Internships are internships, and the ones I've had typically had students in all different years.</p>
<p>i'm also interested in this clarification if anyone knows generally</p>
<p>It doesn't matter. Just do an internship before you graduate from college.</p>
<p>not asking if it matters, i'm wondering typically what students do. if students typically get internships after junior year then i'm not behind most other students. if they do it after sophomore year then i'm probably behind and should probably start looking for internships/getting a resume together</p>
<p>does anyone have an actual answer to the question instead of a "it doesn't matter" response? i dont care if it matters or not i'm just wondering what the majority of students do, whether they do their internships after sophomore and after junior years or mainly just after junior year</p>
<p>Most people do this:</p>
<p>Obtain an internship after their junior year during their summer (between their junior and senior year).</p>
<p>I never heard of a senior internship...at this point you have graduated so you should look for a full time job.</p>
<p>So to sum up, most people, from my experience, intern only once during the summer AFTER their junior year.</p>
<p>Most students I know did two internships and many did three. NObody did one after graduation as all went to jobs or graduate school. Most to jobs. For most students the third year internship leads to a job offer.</p>
<p>I did an internship after my senior year right before I went to get my master's degree. I actually worked every summer beginning right after freshman year, and even worked during the academic year during my junior year, senior year, and the year I spent getting my MS.</p>
<p>I was always under the impression that senior internship means interning while you're a senior, aka between junior and senior year.</p>
<p>The importance of internships depends entirely on your professional goals. In business and politics they're high valued. I don't know about other fields. But also realize that there is no single correct path. I have friends who interned at an investment bank three summers before working full time, and others (though not many) who didn't intern at any. Also, realize that internships are generally helpful whether or not they're required, so I don't know why you wouldn't want to do one.</p>
<p>thanks for your answers, yes i've thought of them as senior junior year internships because i've heard people say that its primarily junior year when you get your internship, but never really thought about when that was. i guess that would be the summer after sophomore year that they were referring to.</p>
<p>Nope. I think they are talking summer of your 3rd year, sixth semester, moving toward or rising into Senior year.</p>
