Never underestimate the resources on the internet. When I was looking for a job, I would spend hours pouring over Google results for things like "entertainment internships," "internships in New York," "record label intern," and "music industry internships." Sometimes I found websites that were of no use to me, sometimes I found sites that did actually have job postings, and still other times, I found websites that at least offered guidance to keep me focused.
Even after you get hired for an internship, you should continue searching the internet because you never know what's out there waiting for you. Recently, I've stumbled upon Intern Queen, aka Lauren Berger. The site is run by someone who's interned more times than I have! On her website you can find intern tips and even purchase intern clothing from the Internal Ethiks (shirts with sayings like "I Spill Coffee For A Living" and "All Work, No Pay").
The best resource the Intern Queen has to offer is her blog which has internship listings and question/answer posts. So check her out, leave her love, ask her questions, and tell her Intern Chick sent you!
A post from Lauren's Intern Advice section, something I tell people all the time:
Be the intern people remember - remember your co-workers names, build personal relationships with the people around you, try your best and make sure people know who you are. People are lucky to know you. You are not JUST an intern
