In an urbanized, highly-populated city like Toronto, it is so difficult to land a summer internship; especially one that pays!
I've been fortunate enough to have two. My first internship was at TeamBuy, an e-commerce daily deals site. I worked as an unpaid intern in their Toronto office for six months. The experience was great. It was my first step into the actual world of marketing, even if in a small role. I learned about reporting, metrics, and office etiquette.
My second internship was with BlueBand Digital. I worked mainly as an Event Co-ordinator for an event which they plan every summer called DesiFEST. I was responsible for contacting the artists as well as preparing Media and Artists Kits. It was a great experience and even better environment. I met some great people and made good connections while working there.
So for those of you looking for a job, remember, its possible. You need to be good to be lucky and lucky to be good.
Hopefully me and you are fortunate enough to find a position with a great company this summer.
