Although I could graduate in the spring semester this year, I have decided to to pursue a summer internship with a tech (preferably silicon valley) or finance company. I have applied to some Apple, Google, VMware, IBM and Sun Microsystems positions. These companies have proven track records and have products that I believe in. Microsoft could be a good company but it would really need to be a position that lets me make a difference, I don’t want to be some lackey for a company with such an identity problem same goes for Yahoo.
I applied to positions directly at each of those companies and I also posted my resume to internshipin.com, the site seems to be a good database/aggregator and I have to support a startup that is so useful.
My current boss also has a lot of connections that I will be utilizing to help find a summer position. He has admitted that he will not have enough work for me during the summer and will help me find a job. Its really just comparing the best opportunities and deciding what I want to do. I may also ask my dad about some positions, since he is a financial advisor and will likely know some people in fund management (an area that interests me).
