About this listen

 In today's episode of the From Dorms to Desks Podcast, we explore the dynamic world of internships, offering essential advice for both students and employers. We'll discuss why winter break is a surprisingly effective time for students to search for summer internships, update their resumes, and expand their professional network. For employers, we'll highlight innovative hiring strategies that go beyond the traditional resume, such as using skills-based assessments, video applications, and project-based tasks to find enthusiastic and adaptable candidates. We also dive into the critical importance of the fall recruiting season, particularly September, which has become a key month for securing top talent early. The conversation covers various internship types, including off-cycle and spring programs, which offer valuable alternatives and less competition. Whether you're a student struggling to find a position or an employer looking to improve your hiring process, this episode provides actionable strategies to navigate the competitive internship landscape and make meaningful connections. And remember, it's just as important to take breaks and practice self-care to avoid burnout. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
