Internship Timeline
Hustle Hustle Hustle
LA Internships are competitive. While BULA has many great internship relationships throughout the city, companies are not waiting idly for your application. You’ll need to apply quickly whenever new opportunities arise. Students who put in the time and the work tend to have stronger internship prospects. The earlier you begin your internship search, the better your chances of securing an internship that’s right for you. Take advantage of every lead BULA provides, but seek out opportunities on your own as well!
What’s Next?
Revise your cover letter and resume, so you look stellar on paper. Watch for communications from Program Managers Carrie Topiel (ctopiel@bu.edu) and Grace deVuono (gadev@bu.edu). You may also pursue leads from a friend or online research, but you MUST get approval from BULA before accepting any position!
