@joecolumbia - In addition to the questions above about what do you do . . . but without adding too much personal info: (1) what sort of degree do you have, (2) are you looking for a position related to your degree, (3) what is your preferred geographic area (generally), (4) do you have any relevant experience, (5) do you, your family, your friends, or people in your extended network know anyone in your chosen field, (6) does your current or prior school have any sort of placement program.
A personal or professional connection is often the best -- and sometimes the only -- method to get an interview and internship at many organizations.
In response to your question on personal experience, it took me 6 weeks to get my first internship. The interview was arranged by a schoolmate who was a year ahead of me and already working there. My second internship took 12 weeks to find; the initial interview was arranged through an on campus program.
If you are able to provide a bit more basic background information, I suspect the forum members will be able to give you some additional useful tips.
I just finished my international business classes and am a little bit over half-way through law. I have done several summer internships in marketing, supply chain and insurance departments.
I am interested in going basically anywhere. None of my family members are in the same field.
