Description
Many people turn to Glassdoor and similar workplace rating sites to check out an employer before accepting a job. But what about an internship? As summer comes to a close, and college students wrap up their latest internships, many are turning to a growing number of websites to rate their experience. And the companies. That’s giving future interns more information and the ability to be more selective. Sims Pettway, creator of the internship rating site Canary, tells us what makes for the ideal internship and why honest reviews help students find theirs. Then, Lindsey Pollak, author of “Getting from College to Career,” digs into what interns and companies gain from hearing honest feedback, and why internships have gone from “nice to have” to “must have” for young careers.
