Technical Internships at Yahoo!

Technical internships are competitive. That's not a surprise. So, start early for NEXT summer. On this page for Yahoo! Internships, you'll find a link to Search. Of course, the current links are for the current season. So, you won't want to apply! But you can read about the specific positions that Yahoo! makes available for college interns. That helps plan how to be prepared to make a successful application when the next season's openings are advertised.

Ideas from the Web

Here's a tip to get the mind on task: check out web sites about travel and study abroad, even if the sites will not be your sources for selecting a specific internship. Transitions Abroad displays the range of possibilities. Of course, international (and all) internships must be based on the college's requirements and standards. Just use the web to get ideas.

Dreaming of DreamWorks? Apply!

DreamWorks Animation works interns. As you might guess, the company receives a lot of applications so you have to be prepared to never hear back from them. On the other hand, if you do hear back from them, you'll know you were an outstanding applicant!

The DreamWorks Internships web site has two crucial divisions: Artistic Jobs and Non-Artistic Jobs. The application process is different for these two types. Read the web site thoroughly before you start your application. And good luck!

Internship at Disney: Florida or California

Chances are, you grew up on Disney movies. And maybe you took a vacation at a Disney park, too. Well, as a college student, you can apply to be an intern at one of those parks. And get paid!

The Disney College Program runs at both Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida. Fall and Spring internships offer a paycheck and housing for a low fee. (The rent can be deducted from the paycheck.)

Applications for 2010 are closed. Applications for 2011 will be gearing up in Fall. Recommended: visit the web site (small tabs under the headline link to the two locations) and plan the application, even if you must wait a couple of months to make the formal submission.
