Make it stand out!

Applying to dozens of internships online without a clear strategy often leads to silence and burnout. In this lesson, we unpack why the "spray and pray" approach rarely works—and what to do instead. You’ll learn how to build a targeted outreach strategy by spending just 30 minutes a day on high-yield efforts that actually move the needle.

Instead of applying to dozens of roles with no direction, shift your energy into focused daily actions that actually lead to results.

Just 30 minutes a day can move you closer to opportunities by building connections, discovering hidden listings, and improving your materials.

The key is consistency and intentionality—small steps add up.
