Here's what you need to do about snagging an adult internship:
- The first thing you need to do is determine what you goal is for the internship. Do you want to learn a new skill, get experience in a different field or get access to a company that you've been eyeing for long time?
- Next, you need to target and research the organization that you want to intern with. Do they have a history to working with adult interns? Or, will you need to do a little convincing and educating on the matter?
