# How to find internships as a community college student

## A suitable technical role with an impossible handoff

Fictional case: an electronics student finds a degree-compatible testing internship. They need to retain a paid evening job. The times below apply on the same day and in the same timezone.

### The last step of the commute check

| Commitment | Time |
| --- | --- |
| Internship shift ends | 4:30 p.m. |
| Travel to the evening job | 55 minutes |
| Evening job begins | 5:00 p.m. |

## Your turn

Can both shifts fit as written? What change would make the timing possible?

## Your answer

[Write your approach here.]

## For your own application

Check travel between consecutive commitments, not just travel from home to each worksite.
