Post Graduation Internships


As you are looking for job opportunities, don't forget the possibility of doing another internship. Some internships are paid and are designed with recent graduates in mind. If your networking got off to a slow start, another internship would be a great way to gain more experience, get more mentorship working in an agency setting, and be in Seattle regularly so it will be easier to attend networking events.

I would not do another unpaid internship, or a remote internship. You want the face-time and networking that an in-house internship could provide.

Craigslist, Internmatch, Idealist.org, and the SVC Jobs Board are all good places to watch.

There are lots of "for credit only" and unpaid internships mixed in, so watch out for the ones that just want to exploit you. You want to make sure you will be learning a lot, that you will be able to contribute, and that you will have access to networking opportunities.
