This "How to find an internship" video is hilarious! I have no idea why the student is holding chicken legs/squid at the end. Maybe he didn't have any luck finding a Kung Fu internship!
Although I loved the fun spin on the internship search, I think the video presents some problems. First of all, when looking for an internship it is important to find something that interests you just as the video says, however it's not always helpful to pick an internship site/industry out of thin air.
The video presented a student who randomly decided on a kung fu internship after looking through magazines... in real life, it's important to figure out your major goals in wanting to land an internship before doing a search. Maybe you want an internship to help you figure out if the career path you are on is the right one for you...aka test-driving a career. Or an internship could be a stepping stone into an organization where you really want to get a job. Your internship goal could be more open too. Perhaps you are looking for a rotating internship that will show you the ins and outs of different sectors of a company.
Internships are great ways to meet new people and also help you develop communication and professional skills which are HUGE!
Again, I thought the film was funny, but tell me what you think!
