Top Twitter Follows

How long has it been since you last refreshed your Twitter feed?  If I had to guess, it was probably just a few minutes ago.  I get it—I’m hooked on Twitter too.  It’s definitely fun to follow celebrities, retweet funny parody accounts, and interact with our friends and family, but why not use this social media tool to our professional advantage?

Below, I have listed my favorite intern-related Twitter accounts.  Check them out and give them a follow.  You never know--you may come across future career opportunities or pick up a few new tips and tricks to apply at your current internships!

Internships.com's Twitter handle and website is primarily for students searching for a potential internship, listing available opportunities and positions across the country. Whether you are looking for your first internship or your fourth, following this Twitter account is a great way to jump start your search!

2. Lauren Berger -- @InternQueen

As I have mentioned in an earlier post, Lauren Berger (THE Intern Queen), knows her stuff!  Lauren often references posts from her blog, and is not shy when communicating with her followers.  She also posts several internship opportunities for students to check out and apply for.
