I am a master student in operations research with a specialization in operations research. To get my degree, I need to have a 6-month internship (from March to September).



I am preparing my CV and I am browsing some offers in websites like glassdoor or LinkedIn etc. to have an idea about the market. I think that there is not a lot of offers in OR on those websites. I need to start to apply by the end of this month and I don't have an idea where to look.



So any tips on finding an internship ?



I am based in France but I am willing to travel.

    If your university requires such an internship, perhaps the university/department/professors can offer some suggestions/jhave some contacts?

On top of the websites you mentioned:




  • Search on Google! If this is not what you are already doing, this should be on top of your list. Not all ads are on job sites.

  • Check different companies websites. Some companies ads may not show up in the first pages of your search. So you can focus your search by having some companies in mind. For example, ask your friends or colleagues where they had their internships. That's a good place to start creating a list (on top of having a chance of a referral). If you don't have a list, think of what industry you like to work on and then search for that industry to find companies that are in that industry (e.g. you like to work in retail. Search for companies in retail)

  • On top of having an up-to-date Linkedin account, upload your resume in all the job websites you know (Indeed, Monster, etc).

  • If you know of any recruiter on LinkedIn, connect with them. Even if they can't help you now for your internship, that's a good investment for the future.

  • Don't confine yourself to a keyword. Search for responsibilities or tasks you like to do. You never know how each company brand themselves. You may look for an operations research position and find nothing, while a company can call all of their employees "analyst" or "data scientist" (especially with all the hype around data science!) All that matters is the requirements in the job posting match your interest and expertise.

    As @Mark L. Stone said your professors, and particularly those you had a course or project could be a good source for the networking. Some websites like this link can be helpful, while I am not sure about those opportunities in Europe. Also, you can find some job (mostly) and internship position posting in the following resources:




    1. IEFac.list

    2. HigherEd Jobs

    3. AcademicJobsOnline.org

      Are you in the US ? As far as I know, there is a lot of opportunities there in OR, much more than in Europe. But, I think that an employer have to sponsor a visa application if I want to apply in the US. How hard is to obtain the sponsorship ?

              Are you in the US ? As far as I know, there is a lot of opportunities there in OR, much more than in Europe. But, I think that an employer have to sponsor a visa application if I want to apply in the US. How hard is to obtain the sponsorship ?

              @AmiraZarglayoun Most of them are not except some specific positions in projects related to military. Most of international students (who are studying in US) can find internships. It’s related to your CV as well.
