Before entering <\/span><b>higher education<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it&#8217;s mandatory. Lasting 1 to 2 weeks depending on the institution, it allows you to discover new <\/span><b>professions <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">without having to <\/span><b>work<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Yes, as the name suggests, you&#8217;re there just to observe the operations of different <\/span><b>departments <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">within a <\/span><b>company<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and that&#8217;s it. It&#8217;s a sometimes decisive <\/span><b>first <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">step.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Operational Internship<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of internship is probably one of the most common in your post-secondary education. Lasting 1 to 6 months, it&#8217;s an integral part of your academic curriculum. You may even have them at different levels, in undergraduate and master&#8217;s programs. Depending on your studies, these internships can <\/span><b>help <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you determine the real direction to give to your <\/span><b>professional <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">career. If you&#8217;re in the field of communication, they&#8217;ll allow you to explore several of your <\/span><b>interests <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">like press relations, internal communication, or graphic design. This internship gives you a real role within the company you choose. Forget about making copies and coffee: these internships are designed to assign you real tasks. It&#8217;s a first <\/span><b>experience <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before truly <\/span><b>stepping <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">into the workforce.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Functional Internship<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, this <\/span><b>last <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">type of internship relates to <\/span><b>end-of-study internships<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Lasting between 4 and 6<\/span><b> months<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it&#8217;s one of the most professionalizing internships. Although operational internships are equally professionalizing, these are often the only mandatory internship in your curriculum. As an <\/span><b>intern<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you&#8217;ll be truly embedded in the chosen <\/span><b>company<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, considering yourself a full-fledged employee. You gain autonomy and responsibilities are entrusted to you. Perhaps this internship will <\/span><b>lead<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to a fixed-term or permanent contract in the company you&#8217;ve chosen.<\/span><b><i><\/i><\/b><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><b><i>Special Case<\/i><\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s another type of internship: the gap-year internship.

You need to be <\/span><b>precise<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and your <\/span><b>presentation <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">must be impeccable. Highlight your <\/span><b>personal <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><b>professional skills<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They&#8217;re all useful. Your<\/span><b> cover letter <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">should not be a copy-paste from the <\/span><b>internet<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Many <\/span><b>recruitment <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">opportunities aren&#8217;t advertised. Speculative applications are a good solution, and they often work.
