Things to Keep in Mind About Receiving an Internship
|
Do not be alarmed about a late confirmation. Many
internship locations will not confirm until shortly before or shortly after your
arrival in Washington, DC.
|
|
Many internship employers require their
own application procedures and have their own deadline dates. Students are
urged to apply early to avoid missing these deadline dates.
|
|
Positions requiring security clearances
and high profile positions may require applications to be sent as early as a
year in advance.
