Summer 2010 Internships
When and how do I apply?
With the amount of  applications we have received already in 2010, the summer internship programme will be bigger and better than ever.
The question we are getting asked the most is:
“When is the best time to apply for my Summer Internship”?
The answer is we are already accepting applications now for summer internships starting from May to June this year. The latest we could accept your application for this summer would be two months before you wanted to start.
If you have decided you want to apply, why not apply now. The longer you can give our Sydney team, the better the internship we can find for you.
Before you apply make sure you have read the Summer Internships programme information. Any questions on the programme or how we will make your summer internship a success just give us a call on 0207 353 7699 or +44 207 353 7699 for international applicants.
To apply you will need to download the following forms and email them in to Intern Options at info@internoptions.com
If you missed the articles in our Summer 2010 Internships series, you can catch up on your reading (sorry couldn’t resist putting that there).
Any questions on the Summer 2010 Internships Programme don’t hesitate to give Jon a call from Intern Options on 0207 353 7699 or email info@internoptions.com
