How do I find an internship for an Economics Major/Degree? What are some good places to look?

Hi everyone, I'm an Economics undergraduate from NTU and I've been rejected/ignored by so many companies that I'm on the verge of giving up..

Given that I'm only a year 2 currently and my CGPA isn't all that amazing, I don't know if I'm even going to be able to find an internship for this coming summer.. Anyone have suggestions/recommendations? Or any other undergrads here suffering from the same fate?

ps, applied for 2 positions at Seedly and got rejected too :')

Don't worry for now - the market is quite bad and most people aren't able to secure internships. Beyond what Brandon mentioned, consider startups and thinking about what you want to do.

Strategy ? Growth? Biz Dev? Trying cold emailing startups - you will be surprised!

Meet more people. Knock on more doors. Stop reading books and start making friends. And largely, if you’re depending on resumes to secure a job instead of really going all out to ask for opportunities, there lies your problem. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. If it doesn’t work, change. Yes times are bad, but if I had a dollar every time I heard that this isn’t a good time for business, I would have gone out of business long ago.
