Ask the company you are applying for if you need to get school credit to do the internship. Good luck ! Lauren Berger Kelsey,

I really want to get an internship under my belt, but I don't want to have to pay for the college credit. Is it still an internship if it's not through my school? I don't want to lie on a resume.

Unfortunately, it seems as though a candidate who interviews in person versus one over the phone always has the upper hand. Do you think Skype interviews can help level the playing field? & should I as the candidate suggest doing a Skype interview to the employer if they request a phone interview? Thanks for all your help! When interviewing for jobs in other cities than my own, its really common for employers to conduct phone interviews.

I haven't been able to get a good answer from my career services office or anyone for that matter on what to do. I'm going to be out of the country until May and would like to have a summer internship. But, I can't come in for interviews or do phone interviews. I've already had two quality internships, so I have experience, and I have a full resume. Do you have any advice on handling setting up one for this summer? Thanks! Hi Lauren,

I can speak Korean pretty well, as in nearly fluently (except for an accent). Is it impossible to get a summer internship overseas for a magazine? I am a Journalism major and a Studio Art minor, focusing on photography. I am also really into fashion. I am thinking of Nylon Korea. How do you even go about applying for an internship in a foreign country? Help! Hi,

How do you even go about applying for an internship in a foreign country?

Help!

I'm an English major in Puerto Rico and I'm very interested in applying for an internship in the states. The problem is my department has no internship program/ system setup and most of the internships I am interested in require me to receive some college credit. I'm interested in pursuing an editorial internship or any sort of internship that would give me a boost in my "career as a writer" but I do not know if there is any way for me to get past the whole issue with college credit. Also, since I am from PR, I am afraid that most magazines, companies and newspapers might turn me down because I live so far away... any thoughts? Thanks! Hi Lauren.

I have noticed that many companies are just looking for spring 2010 interns. Does that mean i should not apply to them?! Hi, i was wondering if it is too early to apply for summer internships.
