We’re taking a cue from Naomi Dunford’s post on IttyBiz called Let’s Play a Game – What’s Your Small Business? and adapting the idea to internship search. By the way, here’s our response to Naomi’s post.
So.
Let’s play a game.
What kind of internship are you looking for?
We always love to hear reader feedback, so we’re going to open this post up for our readers to leave comments. If you’re visiting One Day, One Internship, then you’re probably looking for an internship. Tell us what you’re looking for, so that we can better serve you with our daily posts and articles.
The Questions
Answer these questions by leaving a comment or writing a post in your own blog and linking to this post.
1. Who are you? What is your background and what are you good at?
2. What do you want to do this summer?
3. Do you have a particular field or industry of interest?
4. Are there any companies that you’ve focused your internship search on?
5. What internship search techniques or skills would you like to learn about?
Why You Should Participate
We take requests.
For every company that we write a post about, there are dozens that we don’t write about. We might have found the perfect internship for you, but we didn’t write about it because the company was light on other internship offerings. We won’t know to tell you unless you tell us what you’re looking for. Not only can we help you individually with your internship search, but you (readers) can help each other by publicly sharing what you’re looking for. If there’s enough interest in one area, we can refocus our research to better address reader demand.
Beyond giving us feedback, you never know who might see what you’re looking for. There are plenty of employers who visit One Day, One Internship regularly, and they might see your comment and want to hire you. Make sure that you use a valid e-mail address (we won’t publish it), so that we can contact you if we find any specific opportunities for you.
Be sure to share this post with your friends. If more people participate, the information in this post will be more valuable.

1. I’m a student at a small, highly-ranked institute of technology. I’m studying chemistry with a focus in chemical engineering.
2. Some environmentally-related internship. Mostly I want one for summer ’09, but am looking ahead at what’s available.
3. Not sure exactly. Preferably related to chemisty, chemical engineering, or environmental engineering.
4. Nope.
5. Who’s the right person to contact (via e-mail or whatever), what’s the proper way to write an e-mail saying I’m interested in an internship, technical things like that.
Hi!
I’m a public policy student, interested in global health policy, as well as international health.
It would be nice to also see something on international NGOs working in the health, food security, or women empowerment fields
Thank you for this site. It has been a tremendous help for me in finding out what opportunities are out there
Hi !
I am a high school student(XII th standard Science stream) who would like to work in an environmnental company. I want to do whatever I can do in my free time to make a difference. I have a talent for technical writing and have experience in that field. An internship at an office desk would enable me to get a feel of what work is really like. I would be happy to serve as guest editor for a publication.

Hello! I am attending University of North Dakota and working on a double major in Forensic Science and Chemistry. I have always enjoyed chemistry and solving puzzles and questions such as “what is this substance?”
This summer I hope to get an intership and take a couple of classes so I can study abroad next year with out delaying graduation too much. I would love an intership with a goverment crime lab, but I don’t really enjoy the DNA side of things. I prefer trace evidence.
The skill I have interest in is how to go about getting the information or asking if a company does interships when I am stuck at college and cannot travel to ask and introduce myself.
