Interning in New York



If you are interested in interning in New York, New York, then this is the podcast for you. In this episode, Chau and I interview An, an architect major at the University of Cincinnati. An is interning this semester at Perkins Eastman in New York. She takes us through all the ups and downs she has gone through to get to where she is. From the process of sending in over 100 applications, the importance of having a portfolio, the difficulty in finding housing short notice, and more.

Some key tips to take away if you want to find an internship away from your location:

  1. Apply to as many as possible
    • You can always say no to an internship or job after it is offered to you, so if you have any inkling that you may like to work somewhere, apply for it! you never know what opportunities will come your way if you don’t go for them!! Use sites like Handshake and LinkedIn to apply, you can also ask your Career Coach for some guidance on which sites are best for you
  2. Have a portfolio that is personal to you:
  3. Once you get it, find good housing quickly:
    • An stayed in a hotel for a while before finding a permanent residence. When she finally did find her apartment, she found it on June Homes (not sponsored). June Homes is convenient because they find housing specifically for short term leasing. Depending on where you go, the housing market can move quickly. So, when you find a house that fits your criteria, act fast.
