- How to get an internship and get the most out of it. Outperform, smash your deadlines and effectively network! + how to write a good cv/resume and how to write a good cover letter! Enjoy templates of my own resources below.
This summer I secured an internship in Tokyo at the intersection of science education and social media marketing (so exciting!). Though this was cancelled due to COVID, I ended up doing a remote 10-week, ~30 hour/week marketing internship with a team in San Francisco. I am not pretending to be the best intern (much to still learn...), but I am keen to share what I've already found. I hope it helps someone! Good luck on your professional journey.

Casual Magic of the Day (written before I moved to Berlin!): My family went for a meal with another family who had 3 young sons. I was caught in that awkward space between being our family's child, but being an adult who doesn't relate to those kids... However, it was so much fun! I was fascinated that these kids owned phones from age 5, spent half their time on TikTok, and viewed everything in the restaurant through the beautiful lens of being a child. So refreshing.
Maybe I don't need to hang out with the adults yet.

I'm not pretending to be the world's best intern (lol), but I hope me sharing my learnings from the experience I do have can help someone out. 🦋 I hope you find work experience that resonates with you and your goals!
Hi jade How are you ? can you film another vlog plsss cause I love it 🥰
It totally resonated!! Thank you ❤️❤️
It did resonate, you shed some light on the subject and showed me there is so much more i could do, thank you !!
Hi Jade, hope you are having a great time, I recomend you check out Ali Dawah's channel he is from London and does conversations with people on Speakers Corner and talks about many interesting topics and questions people have... If I were to visit England I would totally go there for a visit, it is one of my dreams he has educated me a lot, I have been watching his videos since so long! ...byee🥰
the real world doesn't work like that
When she’s wearing her purple puff sleeves , you know whatever she’ll be talking about will be life-changing. 💗🙂
Also I look forward to watching all of jade’s videos but reading her casual magic of the day in the description just makes my day!
Even I’ve noticed the purple puff sleeve catch!
hey person reading this: friendly reminder to look after yourself today ✨
Currently laying on my back with my legs against the wall because I am having an anxiety attack 😭
thank you 🌻
I need this rn as I've just finished uni despite mental health struggles and I'm awaiting my results. Thank you
Akho hoping you’re alright now, it’s okay, you are safe.. I know how it is, sending love 💕
Thank you lovely ❤️
I think the aim of an internship is not to be the best, but learn the most you can and to gain working experience. I think internship providers are more happy to have someone that made progression in the way they deal with things and work then someone that is already the best.
Honestly, these strategies might work well with big, progessive companies and for interns who want to high profile jobs and a shooting star career.
But if you want to work with a smaller, more classic, down-to-earth company... well, in my experience, they won't hire the know-it-all who dares to tell them in her internship-application how she (an _intern_ with no degree and no real-world work experience whatsoever) could help the company. There's a good chance you won't have a manager who's "babysitting" you and no one will ask you for your opinion.
I'm not trying to hate or spread negativity. I'm just saying not everyone needs a breathtaking career like Jade and that's perfectly fine, just realise that there is no perfect way to find an internship/job that works for every line of work ;)
@@lucysmart6472 There is no degree for "working in restaurants and supermarkets". And that'a why experience is more important. But for jobs where degree is involved - a lot of companies care about it. You cant even come to interviews without a degree. Maybe in economy, if you started your own business and such, but engineering, law.... forget about it lol.
@@LL-wu5ui there is also no degree for a 20y.o. girl with a one year of "education" online
@@dominikavolgina4189 Ok? And how is that relevant to my comment. If you are talking about Jade - her selling points are: being a student at college where she took economics/marketing classes, and gaining 500k on youtube (marketing herself). That's how she got internship in marketing. She is not a regular person with "some experience" in marketing. They like to hire students because they are on path of getting a degree.
Also, like I said, economics ay be different. If she wanted to get a law internship with no degree/not studying law... yeah good luck with that.
@@dominikavolgina4189 Also, the first person edited her comment.
I probably just noticed a typo a minute after posting the comment (happens all the time) and edited it ;)
Also I just wanted to clarify, I'm not saying Jade did anything wrong or that it's bad that a 20 y/o has never worked in the classical sense. It's not. And it's obviously a good strategy for the kind of company where Jade applied.
But from my experience in a completely different industry that kind of confidence won't get you far. I know people who got fired because they voiced their own opinion while being only an apprentice.
I just geared that comment towards the younger part of Jade's audience because some might think that this is the way to apply for _any_ internship (it's not) or they might be intimidated by Jade's impressive CV (they shouldn't).
This video is literally just what I needed, I'm trying to find an internship and it seems impossible. Especially in the field I want to work in. Thank you for this video!
Reasons Jade should watch "Anne with an E":
1. The protagonist is soo Inspiring!!! Full of butterfly energy🦋
2. The show covers a lot of important topics like BLM, religion beliefs, feminism, LGBTQ+ issues,education, gender bias, human rights etc...
3. The whole show is very aesthetic
4. It has an amazing sound track!🎶
5. It gives a different perspective on life.
6. Anne( the protagonist) is just like jade. You both can vibe together!
7. Jade and anne both are into puff sleeves ( you'll understand when you watch the show)
8. Your best friend Ruby loves this show! It is one of her favourite.
9. Finally, this show is all we need in 2020
PLEASE LIKE THIS COMMENT SO THAT JADE CAN SEE THIS! Thank you.
I would love to see Jade react to this show!!
This is such a cute comment, love that you've included a persuasive list ;)
I'm. Just like her tooo. I genuinely really connect to her n her beliefsI should think about watching this movie ♥️
I see the similarities.
And I just realised that I hate this channel and that show. There’s too much positive energy which makes my negative energy cringe. If you’re into wholesomeness yall should watch it tho
As someone who recruits interns I can say: your tips are so gold. Of half of the applicants would keep these things in mind it would make finding great interns way easier. 🙈
Jade, your CV is SMASHING it. You're a queen!! You inspire me every day to be a better person.
This was, by far, the most inspiring and useful advice anyone could have condensed into a video for public viewing on the internet. I also feel, the journey itself and the post internship reflection is applicable to every one across the stages of work life! It applies to people entering the work force as employees straight out of college, and even someone who has been working for a couple of years. Thank you so so much for putting the time and effort you do into these amazing informational advice videos, Jade!
This honestly felt like a call that I would have for advice with a senior of mine :)
This video is legit EXACTLY what I needed right now. This is a sign.
The world needs more people like you!! You’re one of the sweetest,kind and cheerful person I’ve ever seen in my entire life!! You’re inspiring me so so much and I’m happy for following you r channel!! Love from Italy!!
Please never stop these advice videos! They are so helpful and it’s always stuff I wish I’d learned in school 💖
Thank you so much for the CV/cover letter templates and the super helpful advice!! I am definitely the kind of person who would rather put in more effort on fewer applications, rather than sending out a generic CV to everyone, so I appreciated hearing your take on that. As always, you made my day better
ahhh i'm so grateful for the videos jade puts up on CZcams! they have always seemed to be so relevant in my life (I don't know how she does it) and helpful to me!!
Lockdown has made me go inward full-time and focus on doing things for the sake of their own substance...the prospect of even attempting to get an internship right now feels surreal, but I know I have to step into the "real world" soon, especially with the dawn of the academic year approaching.
I was ABOUT to search this up because I am looking for an internship next year and your video was the first thing on my recommended! THANK YOU JADE, WE LOVE YOU!
You are amazing as always.....That smile on your face hypes me up....
Thank you Jade....You are such a good and great inspiration....
Currently, I am working on my NOTION account, I am trying to personalize it as yours....
Thank youuuuuu kind soul...
I think it's our turn to say that YOU ARE ENOUGH.....
Jade, all I can say is THANK YOU! You are the B E S T role model for young girls and people in general!! We appreciate you so much!!
Wow, I wish CZcams had more people like you, radiating light and passionate to help others. This video comes at a perfect time for me! Hugs from Spain. X
She radiates light! So true.
"Communication and feedback". Thank you Jade, I totally agree that communication is the key in the teamwork. Getting the feedback during the communication about what we've done wrong, which one is working great and so on. That is how we can improve, really.
Well done Jade, this is exactly how it works. Connection is everything. LinkedIn is a great start as you mentioned. Appreciate your efforts in making this informative video and sharing the templates for others to work on with.
This is honestly such a huge sign from the Universe. I mean I have just been trying to figure out how to get an internship and this video pops up! Jade you are incredible and your timing is impeccable!
This type of videos is so so needed! Thank you for making it, hope you'll make it a series!
This is incredible, Jade! I remember starting out my first internship was so stressful and this would be just what I needed. Took me ages to find out all these myself, hahah. Anyone looking for their first internship, these tips are gold! xx
Thank you sooo much!! No other youtuber i know has been so generous and helpful to give a copy of their CV to help others, truly a kind loving soul you are Jade 😍❤ your positivity brings me hope and peace 😘😊 🙏👏👍
Thank you for being so real about internships, Jade. I feel like career advisers often skip over some of the most important parts which you said, like REFLECTING on the experience (not just preparing). So I really appreciate your point of view!! 💛
❤❤❤❤
I love you Jade! 💕
Honestly watching this video made me so happy. I've been feeling pretty low lately and just watching you talk so passionately about doing stuff motivates me to try harder to reach my maximum potential 💫
Ur so positive and inspirational !! We need more people like you in this world ❤️
She really is... so inspiring 💕❤️💕
I welcome this internship video with great pleasure since I'm going to start looking for one in journalism! I feel very motivated and hopeful after hearing all of your advice and tips. a precise and valuable guide! have a great day Jade :)
Wow Jade, this video could not have come at a better time for me! I have just started looking for an internship for next January and I have been struggling to actually start sending applications and networking because it will be a very important internship for me so I've been quite stressed about it and the way I cope with this kind of stress is: delay what I have to do (which is obviously counter-productive). This video is giving me motivation to GO GET THAT INTERNSHIP aha. Thank you !
Thank you for this advice jade, I feel like careers advisors and stuff are so out of touch with things, great to hear it from someone who’s been through it! xx
OMG I'm as early as 8seconds!! WOW!
Hi Jade ❤️❤️❤️
The topic of this video is *really* relevant to me right now, and I can't thank you enough for it. ❤️
Thank you Jade for this constant motivational speeches! I am looking for a communication internship this year and can’t wait to take all your advices for my researches
Jade is providing us with all the knowledge we don't get from school such a queen
Thanks for this!!! I just got my first ever paid internship in digital marketing for 3 months and I'm super excited, but also really nervous. This video has really helped me feel more prepared :)
So happy I ran into this! I'm currently in the middle of my internship with a international NGO (MakeEveryWomanCount) and honestly I've been meaning to communicate more with my supervisors and colleagues, so thanks for helpful advice Jade!
This is undoubtedly one of the best content I've seen this year!
I got an internship thanks to this advice!! Thank you so much! I'm so excited for it (it starts this week) and to learn and grow from it!!
i've been having troubles with finishing my cover letter for days now and this really helped a lot! thank you!
Today was literally my first day working as an intern so I’m super happy to watch this video!😊
You are amazing! Intelligent, kindhearted, precious, beautiful, extraordinary, perfect! I love you! I am going through a very painful stage of my life and your videos make me feel better, thank you so much I wish you the best! Love you
This video did make the whole "getting the internship" process a little less intimidating, thank you :)
I never thought of "Informational Interviews", so that was new!
This is why i love jade- she’s so down to earth she not only give out tips, she actually hands out her own resume and cover letter just to help us??? Love you jade
This is literally THE BEST timing. I was just done calling a bunch of people for an internship and was getting so frustrated because it didn’t go well that I decided to give up for today and just watch youtube hahaga and the first video I see is yours!
Jade is out here helping us all with life ☺️☺️
Jade you are awesome !! 👏
omg just started researching internships this week ! Can't wait to watch !
omg good luck!! I hope you find some opportunities that resonate with you
I'm a few years older than you Jade, and kinda thought I had the whole work/networking thing down but this just taught me so much and I'm wishing I was 19 again!!
The timing of this video... needed this!!
Can I just say- the outro each time makes me so happy idek why it's just so uplifting
This was EXTREMELY helpful- especially the templates!! much appreciation!!
woah! snatched it right away. great video and beautiful smile as per usual.
Great video! Wish I had this before I did my undergrad placement
Another great site is ratemyplacement, it's really good for internships and undergraduate placement listings.
Also, as someone who had be trawl through endless placement CVs and cover letters, the people who always stood out were those who showed good soft/transferable skills. And in your cover letter, definitely showcase your knowledge of the company AND LINK THIS TO YOU! My go to when I was applying for placements would be searching up the company's values and show how my skills and experience fit into this. It shows you have interest in the company and that you would be a good fit in the company
Please share with us more more more Berlin vlog!! I love Germany but I have never been there so Its soo great to see on your channel
I did three internships so far in my life (kindergarten, after school care and local newspaper... now I want to become a cutter/film editor lol) and looking back on them I could've done SOO much more by just putting myself out there, asking more questions and showing my colleagues my own ideas.
Great video Jade, I definitely learned a lot!
u’re really out here giving us sample CVs and cover letters for free 😭❤️
this is so useful thank you ! I've just graduated uni and try to get a graduate job or internship has seemed impossible at the moment, I've lost count of how many things I've applied to !
Hi Jade thank you for this video which always inspires me, I am currently doing my prelims a month and a half before my a levels. I was upset because I couldn't do as well as I hoped despite spending almost several whole days studying! Thank you for making me look forward to the future!
Thank you so so much for the advice, ¡Muchas gracias, Jade! This is incredibly helpful for all of us looking for opportunities to show the world what we can do. Love from Colombia!
jadeee omg this is so amazing and just what i was looking for !! and also would love an interview video too! I LOVE EVERYTHING UNJADED JADE
Ah I've just got an interview for my first ever job that I've applied for!! This was so useful in calming my nerves 💕
i must have manifested this video because currently i’ve been looking for a job
i’ve made like 5 different cvs and have been wondering how i could make them even better🥰 thank you Jade, super helpful!
Watching this video inspired me to look more into organizations working on food security in Canada and I came across a really cool networking opportunity that I wouldn't have found otherwise. Thanks!

Lots of great advice in this video and in the comments ☺️ your hair looks so good too!!

I agree, this honestly is so helpful😊
i’m not currently thinking of applying for an internship but if i do decide to this will be super helpful, thanks jade!
Thank you so much. This is helpful for anyone looking for a direction in the career that they desire, especially me, a graduate looking for a job but also maybe picking up something outside of my field!
you are so confident and an excellent confidence booster. Thank you so much for this video🥰
I'm two and a half weeks into my internship and today I pushed myself to initiate a meeting with my supervisor even though he was really busy and I was feeling insecure. It was a super helpful meeting and now I'm on track to do a project I suggested and that I'm really excited about! This was a good video for today 😊
Jade you always make me smile. Love you videos. They inspire mine 🦋🤍
Thank you thank you thank you Jade!!!! This video is so important, we’d love more professional advice video! :)
i have truly come to love the song recommendations you casually drop in each video description. i always end up finding some really niche beautiful music 🥺❤️
this makes me SO HAPPY 🥺✨
@@UnJadedJade 🥺❤️🦋
Thank you for the video!😊 I think it's very motivational and is applicable to any job, not just internships👍
Thanks for this motivational video! I'm working as an Intern in Malta now so these lil, yet important tips are really helpfull
You are so inspiring to me you have no idea, you are the reason I got up from the bed one day after a long time. Now I go on self-dates, like myself more and am about to start new studies which I am super excited about! Oh well and I am older than you 😅 but you are a mom of my mental health, girl
This is fantastic advice! I would love a video on the interview process because I'm great at writing cover letters and CVs but I'm atrocious at interviews.
Rewatching this video as I am writing my cover letter for the internship of my dreams 🌞
