Summer Job?

Wow, seems like Internships are the hot things these days. I too am looking for an internship, although I havent had much luck yet. Ive had a couple of interviews which I thought all went well, but havent gotten an offer yet. Just today I called a marketing firm of some sort and I set up an interview for April 18th. I hate going into an interview not really knowing much about the company or what exactly im going to be doing. I cant seem to find a website, and the description didnt reveal very much. I also got a call for some sort of center for performing development, and I set up an interview for April 15th and they said they would email me to confirm it but that was a few hours ago and I havent gotten the email so im beginging to wonder what happened there. Maybe I'll give it a few days.

But If I dont get an internship, I can always fall back on my Summer (and whenever) job of the past 5 years...making waffle machines.

Getting an internship on the open market is normally pretty difficult and very competitive (from my knowledge). Networking and getting the insider opportunities seems to be more fruitful.

My summer job will be my normal job.

Well yea, thats obvious. Unfortunatley I dont seem to know many people who have jobs in places that offer internships. I know several people that have gotten Internships at Caterpillar, which is a HUGE local employer, but they all have parents or relatives who allready work there. I dont. My dad works at the Post office and my mom is a receptionist at a doctors office so they are of no help.
