How many months in advance should I wait until I can send my application? Is there a rule of thumb? In light of COVID, shall I apply more than six months in advance or wait until the job market reopens?
Thank you very much for your answer.
Hi Margot,
What exactly do you mean by VA-ship? I actually have not heard this term.
Hi Margot,
It depends on the country. In general the countries opening the earliest (eg UK) have an application deadline starting 9 months before the beginning of the internship.
Keeping that as a benchmark, you can contact HR or - even better - network with someone in your target office for more specific information. That should also help to clarify the best time to apply given the COVID situation in your particular country.
Best,

Hello!
First, can you clarify what you mean with VA-ship?
Secondly, with all interships in general, in most offices you have a determined window (arround 6-9 months before starting)
Hence, best would be to reach out to HR and ask them for that specific location and policy
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Clara
Dear Margot,
Usually deadline for internship application is 6-9 months, but it may vary.
The certain way is to ask HR about details. It's ok.

Hi Margot,
I agree with other experts, so usually the application deadline is 6-9 months before the starting.
Do you need any further help?
All the best,
