A micro-internship or freelance internship is a short-term, paid, professional assignment that is similar to those given to new hires or interns. These roles have surged in popularity as the traditional employment landscape changed in the face of changing work preferences, and global challenges.[1][2]
Micro-internships are typically project-based roles that last anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. They can span across all departments and functions, such as IT, marketing, research and sales. These roles often emerge through digital platforms that connect employers with potential interns.[3][4]
Historical contextedit
The concept of micro-internships was first introduced in 2014 by the platform Parker Dewey, that connects students and recent graduates with companies for short-term, paid projects. Micro-internships were initially designed to be a way for students to gain real-world work experience and explore different career paths without having to commit to a traditional internship.
In addition to the work experience, crediting micro-internship experience on a resume can quickly augment work history references. Include the same information as any other job, with your internship title, such as “Marketing Intern” or “Sales Associate Intern.”
Today, micro-internships are offered by companies of all sizes, from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Micro-internships can be found in a variety of fields, including marketing, sales, engineering, and design, among others.
