Sorry guys this video came 5 hours later than usual! I somehow scheduled it initially for tomorrow instead of today :/ I hope you enjoyed the content anyway! Comment below what your plans are for the summer!
Iris Fu, hello I am a high schooler currently, and would like to know if a work permit would be necessary for someone who is under 18? Moreover, do you need a work permit for volunteering? Also, starting at what age in high school do you recommend that a high schooler should get an internship? Thanks for the video and have a great day!
Just found your channel and damn we are so alike!! I just finished an internship for a start up video production company that I worked for my whole senior year. I’m looking to get back into working internships for startups again and this really helped me out!!
That's Great for you! Could you tell me what startup it was and how you got an internship? I'm a high school freshman and I'm thinking about internships in video production (a hobby) and business/economics (what I'm thinking about majoring in). What kind of things did you do? I'd love to talk some more if you could!
@@ritwijghosh208 Hey totally!! My experience happened at a local video production company in my town. I got in contact with them through my high school and I eventually met with the boss and asked him about an internship! What I did was basically do a lot of shooting commercial type videos for local businesses in my area as well as make storyboards for the videos and work with the cinematographer on what might look best for the shots!! I did some social media posting as well! Its really fun to learn about different types of gear that would be used. It’s really good to learn these types of things if you are considering business or marketing because video production is honestly the future! A lot of filmmakers actually can start out with jobs like these because it’s basically small video projects and the more you do it, the better you get!! If your serious about it, I say go for it and see if you can start an internship early and maybe see if you can adjust your schedule to work part-time! By the time you are a senior, you already have professional background and you might even decide you want to do something in communications or film!!
I did do some regular intern type of jobs though too which was getting the staff coffee and running to Walmart for supplies. All in all, I really recommend it to anybody who’s interested!! I’m currently looking into becoming a camera operator!
@@katekelly794 Wow Thanks a bunch!! I'm pretty interested now. I will see what I can do! Do you use LinkedIn and did it help you get any other internships or clients? btw thanks for replying so fast!
I’m going into ninth grade and trying to make use of my time but don’t have much on my resume. Do you have any tips for getting an internship for someone my age?
How do you usually manage your time, when dealing with both normal classes and extracurricular? Because usually when i get home from school, a lot of time is spent of normal classes that I don't have time to do extracurriculars. I always wonder what amazing people like you do in their day, and how they fit everything in, in already tight schedule.
Hi Iris! Absolutely love how you try to help everyone with such useful videos! I am an International student and I was hoping if I would do a research paper by myself and get it verfied by someone who is involved with that topic, will colleges give it any importance?
My goal is to have a research opportunity the the summer going to my senior year (2021). I’m afraid I am not qualified enough. At that point in time, I would have taken AP chem and AP physics, but only have taken honors biology my freshmen year. I want an opportunity where I can be introduced to research, but I’m afraid local universities want someone who is more qualified and knowledgeable about research. Any advice?
Hi! My biggest advice is to have no fear! Don't be afraid of rejections, and apply to as many things as possible. Do some outreach. If one professor says no, ask another one. You might have to get 100 rejections before 1 yes, but that's completely normal and okay. In addition, APs aren't as important as you might think. Professors and summer programs value your initiative and experiences as much as, or even more, than your school courses. Try running some science experiments at home, write about them online, and send those articles to the professors your cold emailing or the programs you're applying to. This shows both your interest and your experience. Hope this helps!
Hi! I'm a rising high school sophomore and I wanted to start looking for internships or any extracurriculars that could help boost my chances of getting into college with a science/biology major. I feel like biology extracurriculars are very limited and hard to do remotely unlike many other majors. Could you possibly introduce me to any internship/extracurricular ideas that can be done both online and offline(When school starts)?
I don’t think u should do anything for college. Try to identify areas of growth u want to see in yourself, and pursue the activities that would challenge you there. Or, identity issues in ur community that you care about, and address them through an initiative. These are all EC “ideas” but in the end it’ll just be you acting on your priorities, and you know what you care about best (so i don’t think I’m qualified to speak to the specifics of what you can do). Hope this makes sense and good luck!!!👍
@@irisfu6929 Got it, thank you for replying so quickly! I subscribed to both your channel and newsletter after I watched a few of your vids because I felt like your tips were all great and thoughtful. Could you possibly make a video about how to spend summer break more productively based on what grade you're in, or about competitions and awards? Thank you!
Who was the advisor that helped you get into Stanford? How did you to get in touch? Should the internship I apply to have to do with what I want to study in college?
Iris, is it okay if I message someone in the company in their social media account because most of the people incharge in hiring do not put contact info(phone no., email) or is really not active in linkedin, also, i don't think if they are opening their personal emails. I have so many questions in my mind, hope you help me in my internship application.
Hey Iris ! The video was extremely helpful . But honestly it's quite hard searching for internships on linkedin . Do you have any tricks on how you searched for internships on linkedin?
I think you might need to be connected with the right ppl. I’m connected with a bunch of ppl who incessantly post internship stuff (from tips to platforms where u can find them). Perhaps check out my connections and connect with them, so you get their posts on your feed? Also, with cold outreaches, make them as short and concise as possible
I'm a rising junior in high school..is it possible for me to start looking for internships now with no previous experience? also I live in South Asia..will that be a speed breaker?
Hi, thank you for the helpful video. I’m an international student and also a rising senior. I think it’s easier to get an online internship from tech startups than from science-related companies. Do you think it’s too late to look for an internship at this point? I’m thinking about majoring in biochemistry so do you have any recommendations?
Hi iris! You are my inspiration and I really want to get into Stanford! I made a research project based on a disease, and found a drug that could potentially lead to a breakthrough! However, I found out that someone else also found out this drug could potentially work, but I still want to continue my research on it and the other persons publication was not continued! I am planning on mentioning them in my article, but I’m wondering if I should still continue doing research?
Is it possible to find remote science/biology internships? Where I live all non-essential lab and clinic personnel are not allowed to work. I feel like it would be fruitless if I spend all this time trying to find an internship when they would all tell me know anyway 😕
I'm in 10th grade in India and I want to practice clinical neuropsychology (at least that's the plan) I did some research after watching this video and surprisingly enough I did get phone numbers of pretty reputed people in the field in India but... I don't know what to tell them about myself lmao :/ Hope you have some advice :)
hi I'm also interested in being an advisor/intern for bullseye! I applied through the regular application for both but i wanted to know if you have any advice for moving forward with it such as you did but I can't find their numbers and I also don't make UA-cam videos? thanks sm!
hmm have you submitted your application form? In there, I'd recommend you show an interest for mentoring younger students and talk about your experience tutoring, etc. Other than that, just be yourself in the interview! I do think they're pretty selective with their advisors though so don't take it personally if you don't get asked for an interview--big congrats if you do get the position though!! Good luck :)
@@irisfu6929 hi and thanks for the insight! yeah I submitted my application form for being an advisor and also doing an internship. Just extra info I'm a rising freshman at Georgetown University and I'm really interested in computer science/programming and data management. I was hoping to do an internship this summer doing something related to that but I'm also really interested in helping people with college advising/tutoring that's why I applied to bullseye when I found out about it. Your video was really helpful but on LinkedIn I don't usually see numbers so I can cold call. Do you know any other companies/places to apply to become an advisor or to do an internship concerning that or tips to find one? thanks again! love your videos and so excited for Stanford. hopefully we will be on college campuses in some capacity in the fall :)
when your internet friends what you're doing today 😩i usually finish making my videos the day before and schedule them for the next morning but i accidently scheduled this one for tomorrow so i just changed the time and published it now haha
I'm actually an intern right now at Consumerchoice (internship@consumerchoice.com) and I was shocked to know they are also accepting high school seniors for their work immersion.
Sorry guys this video came 5 hours later than usual! I somehow scheduled it initially for tomorrow instead of today :/ I hope you enjoyed the content anyway! Comment below what your plans are for the summer!

It’s totally okay to do that! I would 110% go for it
Just finished my interview for my second summer internship this month. Feeling good
How did you get started, any tips

Hi Iris. I have watched so many college admissions videos and yours are the most helpful, concrete and practical. Do you offer private consulting?
Hi! I really loved your video! Is there any advice you have for younger students (younger than high schoolers?) Thank you!
I think a lot of the advice i list in my high school advice video can actually apply to you as well!
I'm a rising junior in high school..is it possible for me to start looking for internships now with no previous experience? also I live in South Asia..will that be a speed breaker?
You definitely can! I don’t think your location matters given that it’s all remote work now. Reach out!!
What I can offer for those who hires people If i never did any job and I don't know what I can do online?
Love this video! How do you find start up companies to intern at?
I just searched for startup founders on LinkedIn
Iris Fu can I use LinkedIn as a sophomore?
Hey just wanted to ask how you find these startups
What is cold calling
Hi, thank you for the helpful video. I’m an international student and also a rising senior. I think it’s easier to get an online internship from tech startups than from science-related companies. Do you think it’s too late to look for an internship at this point? I’m thinking about majoring in biochemistry so do you have any recommendations?
You're totally right. I'd recommend looking into biochem startups bc as you said, it's easier to get internships at tech startups
Hi iris! You are my inspiration and I really want to get into Stanford! I made a research project based on a disease, and found a drug that could potentially lead to a breakthrough! However, I found out that someone else also found out this drug could potentially work, but I still want to continue my research on it and the other persons publication was not continued! I am planning on mentioning them in my article, but I’m wondering if I should still continue doing research?
Your videos are really helpful Mashallah, may Allah swt bless you :). I live in Kashmir and we have a war going on so everything is difficult here:(
Is it possible to find remote science/biology internships? Where I live all non-essential lab and clinic personnel are not allowed to work. I feel like it would be fruitless if I spend all this time trying to find an internship when they would all tell me know anyway 😕
Yes I think so! Most internships are remote rn anyway - haven’t actually heard anyone doing an in person one haha
Do you have an email template? How should we email professors?
I think I talked about a suggested template/what to include in the “landing research” video I made!! Lmk if you still have questions tho
Were any of these internships paid?
Yes, all were paid!
Hi how do you search through linkedin for example chemistry related internships
I'm in 10th grade in India and I want to practice clinical neuropsychology (at least that's the plan) I did some research after watching this video and surprisingly enough I did get phone numbers of pretty reputed people in the field in India but...

Hi, I'm in 9th grade and I also want to go into neuropsychology. I'm an Indian-American living in the US rn and I have the same struggle lmfaoo :((
so helpful!!!! Thank u!
