Hiring Update #2.5: INTERNSHIPS!

Summer's here, and so is your chance to grow and learn!

Hello! Welcome to edition 2.5 of the Hiring Update! Why 2.5? Because today we’re talking (drumrolls please!) INTERNSHIPS! Internships changed my life- when I moved sectors, when I moved roles, when I didn’t know what I was capable of or ready for, it was internships that offered me guidance, support, and a way to figure out what I wanted to be when I grow up. Perhaps more importantly, they taught me what I really, really didn’t want to do. Here are a bunch of curated non-tech internships for you (all paid, of course). Also, unlike the usual Hiring Updates, this one is a living document. If you’re someone who wants to hire interns, please send me your requirements and I’ll update them here! As usual, a reminder- every fortnight, you will have a short list of start-ups and roles landing in your inbox. I cannot take any personal guarantee of what these roles will lead to, of course, so please consider me merely a conduit!

If you find these updates useful, consider buying me a coffee (since I need a fair amount to keep up with this!)
