Your Internship Doesn't Have to Be "Typical"

Internships are a fantastic way to gain real-world experience and build your resume. But, let's face it, sometimes the traditional internship paths can feel a bit, boring.

Why limit yourself to the obvious choices? Think outside the box and find a unique internship that truly excites you.


Take this example: You're studying business, but instead of landing the usual finance or marketing internship, you choose to help a small startup with their data entry and cleaning.


Not exactly glamorous, right? But hear us out! This "unconventional" internship will teach you valuable skills like:

  • Data organisation: Learn how to structure and manage data effectively.

  • Spreadsheet mastery: Become a pro at using Excel or Google Sheets.

  • Attention to detail: This is a skill employers absolutely adore!

  • Adaptability to various responsibilities: Working in a startup means you'll be wearing many hats, developing your ability to quickly adapt to new tasks.

  • Start-up world insights: Get a firsthand glimpse into the exciting (and sometimes chaotic) world of entrepreneurship.


This is just one example. The possibilities are endless! Consider these other creative internship alternatives:

  • Offer your social media expertise to a local store: Help them build their online presence and reach a wider audience.

  • Create marketing materials for a friend's small business: Design flyers, social media posts, or even a website.

  • Shadow someone in a field you're curious about: Learn directly from professionals in your area of interest.


The key is to be proactive and seize opportunities. Don't be afraid to reach out to local businesses or professionals and offer your services. These unconventional internships might not be as flashy as traditional ones, but they'll offer valuable experiences, unique skills, and a chance to stand out from the crowd. So, think outside the box and find an internship that truly sparks your passion!


Kabel connects you with a world of unique internship opportunities, tailored to your interests, passion, and goals.
