Why is so hard to get an internship?

[cabron]

I am trying to get an internship in business, I think I applied for like 50 companies and I went to interviews but not luck so far, this economy is killing students trying to get a damn internship :pinch:

wait till the minimum wage hike, you won't even be able to fall back on working at Wendys.

Yup, times are tough. But decent internships are always hard to land; the economy just heightens the challenge.

Where are you studying? Can you take an internship in another city? Do your teachers have any suggestions? (This last one's the best one, by the way...)

I am willing to work for free just to get the experience, I am doing a master in business, in graduate school is not really necessary to take an internship but I don't have experience in business, my undergraduate was in web design. I basically switched careers, but yeah, I agree man, times are tough for almost everybody.

Willing to work "for free", just for the experience? Maybe try applying to non-profit organizations. Try approaching the United Way in your city and see if they can use your skills.

That can actually work in your favor on a resume later; it shows some degree of community-mindedness.
