Thank you for taking the time to read my b...Hello!<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and share with me your struggles.<br /><br />As far as landing an internship, I would say your best option would be to talk to your most trusted professors and/or college advisers about your situation so they can help you land an internship. That was the strategy that worked best for me. I disclosed my legal situation to many professors, social workers and other professionals with whom I was/am very close and they were able to jump hoops for/with me and give me access to internships that I probably would not have gotten on my own.<br /><br />Another strategy would be to contact anonymously, via phone, those companies/organizations that you're interested in interning at and asking them if a social security or legal status is required for you to become an intern. <br /><br />If you are worried about background checks and things of that sort, I can tell you that a social security is not required for a company to perform such task. Your name, birthdate, place of birth, etc. is sufficient in most cases. <br /><br />I would say that going into the social service field has provided a safe space for me, as people tend to be understanding of my situation. However, I realize that not every professional field might be like that. So I want to ask you, what are you studying?Alex Montecarlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254151881797625348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401715832855149453.post-1080712801186626082011-08-25T22:16:09.604-07:002011-08-25T22:16:09.604-07:00I am in a similar situation, but right now I am an...I am in a similar situation, but right now I am an undergrad at a pretty "prestigious" university. Its really hard to get internships or jobs related to my major because they require legal status. Everyone else here is landing amazing summer and fall internships while I just volunteer in areas completely unrelated to my major because that's basically all I can get. I can't go abroad like most students because of this too. My question is, how did you get internships? Did you have to explain to your internship director about your legal status?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
