2. Complete the FastWeb questionnaire to create a profile. Or if you're a returning user, go to your personal page after signing in. Click on the link at the top of the page for "Jobs & Internships," or click the "Internships" link on the left of your page. A number will appear next to that link which represents your total internship matches based on your profile.

4. Read more about the internship of your choice on the next page. The page will feature a description, a link to the employer's or sponsor's website and the majors that are closely related to the internship. Information about application deadlines is also included. Pick "Go There" or the company link to visit the program's website, hit "Favorite" to save the listing or select "Discard" if the internship doesn't suit your needs.

5. Study the general requirements and benefits of the internship once you get to the website, and follow the instructions to apply for the program. Application steps may vary depending on the program, but you will likely need to fill out an application and send it along with a resume, references and school transcripts. Internship application packages are usually sent by mail, email or fax, but check with the program's mailing procedures first. Double-check the program's deadline to ensure that you are meeting it in order to be considered for the internship.
