So, you’re finished studying or in your final years and looking for that foot in the door. 

It can seem pretty tough to snag your dream job when companies are looking for years of experience but you can’t get years of experience because they won’t hire you in the first place. Add on top of that the endless searches for a fitting internship that can last well into page 7 of Google and you may feel a little disheartened about stepping into the workforce.

Meet Upitch.me, dedicated to internships for students.

They’ve been busy building the best solution for young talent to gain that sought-after job experience while helping companies hire better and faster. 

It’s the only place where you can actively seek out an internship all on the one platform, and get access to dedicated alerts every time a new internship opportunity that fits your needs pops up – and it’s 100% free, because they get that student struggle.  

How does Upitch.me work exactly?

Upitch.me works on the idea of ‘video resumes’ – and no, it’s not as scary as it sounds. 

The tables are basically reversed here because you’ll get a chance to glimpse the company culture by watching potential employers pitch themselves to you. 

Then it’s your time to shine – record a quick video of yourself where you’ll answer three job-specific questions, tasks, or work examples chosen by the employer, and then back up your application with video references from your peers, coaches, boss, etc. You can record as many times as you like until it’s perfect, and you can also enter in a script of what you want to say beforehand so you can read it off the screen if you need – without actually looking like you’re reading off a screen. 

Hours writing and perfecting a resume that may or may not get looked at? No longer! The fact that this platform works completely video-based means you’ll ditch the stressful resume writing and get straight to showing off your personality and skills ‘face to face’ as such. 

You also won’t be left wondering where you stand, because you’ll get regular and instant notifications upon your application’s status changes. 

Make your internship search easy

Job alerts are no new concept, but it’s rare to find a place where you can get internship alerts as opportunities come up. 

Upitch.me sends the best jobs right to your inbox when they become available – and not just any old job, one that you’ll be interested in. 

Signing up for alerts is a pretty simple task here. You can connect with your Facebook, or Linkedin or use your email, then pick whether you’re on the hunt for an internship or job (or both) and check all your interests in the list of fields so every alert is relevant to you.
