When it comes to competing against thousands of motivated, extremely talents students for those extremely valued internships you shouldn't merely do what all others are doing. You don't want to be average, the goal is to make yourself stand apart from the mountains of resumes.
Once in my career, I was applying for a position that I was missing one of the essential requirements. I applied through the normal channels online; however, I knew that based on my experience only I would not be selected for the first round or potentially any rounds. What did I do you ask?
I found out the name for the recruiting manager who was handling the job, and I wrote a handwritten note with chocolates and sent with a messenger. Wouldn't you know that not only did I make it through the screening, I went all the way through to be considered one of the top three candidates.
You have to ask yourself, did I put the time, effort, and creativity into this application process. This candy bar example showed the potential employer that this person took the time and effort to go the extra mile. He will probably do that as an intern!
