What do you do in a remote internship?

The responsibilities and day to day work will vary greatly depending on the type of internship. A data analyst internship will be very different from a marketing internship. For most internships, you will be supporting a department and learning how it operates. You may be asked to take on projects as you learn how the company and its systems operate. The purpose of an internship is to give a company some support in basic areas while the intern is able to get professional exposure and learn how a company operates.

Internships can give young workers their first exposure to working in a professional environment and even give them some skills to help them on their career path. Some internships can turn into full-time positions with the company. When interviewing for a position, let the hiring manager know what you’re interested in either a long term position or a short term position. If you’d like to eventually go full time and become a member of the team, discuss this with the company. Wanting to work full time and long term with the company can be advantageous when applying to an internship.
