A short YouTube talk by Ramit Sethi giving practical advice on obtaining college internships through networking and relationship-building. He recommends informational meetings (e.g., taking people to lunch), leveraging personal contacts, and specific resources such as the article “The Best $20 You’ll Ever Spend” and the blog Get Rich Slowly.
Internships. That's where you make a vast amount of money each summer. You go work as an intern and you make money. That's how you do it. And then you can work part time during the year. One of the things I would talk about is go read this article called the best $20 you'll ever spend. I guest posted on JD Roth's blog, Get Rich Slowly, which is another good blog, and talk to you about how to go meet people for 20 bucks. You take them out to lunch, you get to know them, you build a relationship like Keith Ferrazi talks about in the great book, never eat alone. And that's how you can get internships. That's how I was able to get multiple internship offers, by just calling up a couple friends and saying, hey, what do you got this year? The next day I had multiple job offers.
