In many cases, job or internship opportunities exist behind the scenes – but you do not have access to them openly because there are no obvious offers published. This is where unsolicited job applications come into action – this just means that you can contact companies and organisations and ask for internship opportunities without there being a specific job offer at hand.

So contacting your company of interest to offer your services as an intern opens up great opportunities for you. Important: the first point of contact is vital here, so make sure you do profound research on the company first and know exactly why you want to intern there. This will help you make convincing first contact and draw up excellent, on-point application documents. However, do not send your CV and cover letter at first contact. Call them first, or write an email expressing your serious interest and offer to send them your documents.

When applying abroad, it is highly important that you research the respective country’s application standards. Some examples for your research:
