Are you counting down the days to the end of your school year? Maybe you’ve got a few exams left or maybe you’re already home free. Either way, one thing is coming up whether you’re ready or not: summer internship season.

But where should you start your search? Thousands of companies—including startups, Fortune 500s, and everything in between—are still searching for Summer 2019 interns. Maybe they had too many positions and couldn’t fill them all yet, or maybe they just realized the need for a new marketing intern for their latest product.
