InternshipGPS is your #1 free, online source for MBA and graduate business internship postings, as well as for information, resources and tips related to resumes, cover letters, internship interviews and more.
A rising second-year MBA student (Class of 2009) at the Mason School of Business at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, I, Chris Perry, created and launched InternshipGPS at the end of April 2008 with current plans for an official launch this fall in the upcoming first-year MBA student internship search season.
As a recent first-year MBA student who was very thorough in my pursuit of any and all opportunities for an MBA summer internship, I quickly discovered how overwhelming the internship search can be when conducting a search in general, but more importantly, when conducting a search online. While there are many job sites and career search engines available, none of them truly focus on us, the large and consistent target market of internship-seeking MBA students that emerge each and every year. This can be seen in the fact that when we search for “mba internships” on popular sites, such as Monster.com, CareerBuilder.com or Indeed.com, we must filter through many undesirable search results, including undergraduate internships, MBA full-time positions, as well as mass-market, or "spam" job advertisements. This wastes time for us and only adds unnecessary stress to our already-stressful endeavor of identifying internship opportunities.
It was after this discovery that I decided to do something that might make a significant difference for the incoming class of MBA students. I decided to create InternshipGPS, a site on which all MBA internships would be posted after being pre-screened for an MBA and/or graduate business education level requirement. This means more opportunities for you to choose from, and more time for you to apply!
In addition to internship postings, I have also searched and posted some of the best available information, resources and tips on MBA resumes, cover letters, interviews and other internship-related strategies.
The great thing about InternshipGPS is that this service is absolutely FREE!
