Luckily, securing my internship was very seamless from last semester to the current summer 2024 semester. The first step was approaching my former professor, Jason Falk— adjunct professor at City Tech and owner of TANKindustries—about the possibility of interning under him and his design team. Because of the commitment and persistence shown in class through my work and attendance, he took a chance on me, which led to the next step, concerning all of the nitty gritty details. We ran into a couple detours in regards to joining a class for the summer semester and questioning whether the internship could be remote, due to the lack of a physical office since 2020, yet we found the answers to all of our problems by communicating with Professor Goetz.
I highly recommend to anyone looking for an internship to heavily network prior and to ask professor’s who work in the industry. Sometimes you need to just take a risk and ask the people that you’ve made connections with. My goal before graduating is to finish at least two internships and I am fortunate to say I have another lined up as soon as my current one finishes!
