How to get in at STR
Applying early at STR gives you a distinct advantage because recruiters review applications as they arrive. Intern Insider sends an instant alert the moment a role matching your target is published, so you can be among the first to submit your materials before the applicant pool grows. Getting your resume in front of a human early is often the difference between a screening call and a rejection. Intern Insider surfaces the recruiters behind the company roles so you can reach out directly to ask about the position or a referral. Connecting with the right person materially improves your response rates compared to waiting in the queue.
