How long does it take to hear back from a summer internship?
You should expect to hear back from internships as early as 3 months prior if you applied early. However, most employers will reach out during this two-month period to request in-person or phone interviews.
How long does it take companies to review internship applications?
Usually, it takes about 10-15 days for companies to screen all the applications. This is the stage where most applications are ruled and the few best are shortlisted for an interview. If you didn’t get called for an interview, your application status might get stuck at “under review.”
How long does an application stay in Review?
It typically takes one to two weeks to hear back after applying for a job. An employer may respond faster if the job is a high priority, or if they’re a small and efficient organization.
How often should I apply for internships?
To make sure you land something, apply for at least 10 to 20 internships every two to three weeks. If you hear back from a few and land interviews, you can stop aggressively applying, but remember you want to make sure you don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
How long does it take to get a response to internships?
There is not sent response time. Each company/organization has their own time line. It is totally appropriate to contact the company/organization two weeks after applying to ask about the status of your application and the selection process. I have applied for over 20 internships and have been denied or not heard back from all of them.
Should you be aggressive when applying for internships?
If you hear back from a few and land interviews, you can stop aggressively applying, but remember you want to make sure you don’t put all your eggs in one basket. One company said it received 14,000 applications for its internship. It’s a tough market.
How do I follow up with companies after applying for internships?
Once you start applying for internships, follow up one week after you send in your application to confirm the company received your materials and to ask if they need to look at anything else. If you can’t find anyone to follow up with, use LinkedIn and try to connect with people who went to your school and work at that company.
