How do you ask for an internship
Hello Experts,
I want to do my internship in a video game company.
I do not know if the company offers internship position in the field that I want. I am interested in path finding algorithms, AI, game engine,multicore programing. Basically I want to learn what makes a game tick and tack. (Math, Math, Math and Math).
Here is my question:
1. Do I sent a letter without a resume asking them if they offer an internship position and sent my resume later if they confirm that they offer an internship position, or do I include my resume in the first letter?
2. If they answer that they do not offer such a position and if you have not sent them your resume with the first letter what will happen if you sent it anyway? Is there a chance that they can change their position (if it has nothing to do with their budget) from something you have done?

One last thing. Do you e-mail them or do you send them by post or by fedex? I read how resumes end up in the trash bins but we live in the 21st century.
Which one is requested?

Each HR dept is different. Ours accepts mail and email but those that end up not being reviewed usually is because they didn't follow directions for each job posting.
I believe you should contact them and if it is possible for you drop by and give it them pesrsonally.
