Work / How to find an IT internship, work placement, graduation assignment in Cracow? (Krakow) [10]

Hi All,

First of all, I want to tell you something about myself. I am a 26 years old student and currently pursuing my Degree in Business IT & Management at the University of Applied Sciences, Amsterdam in Holland. Presently, I am in my last year and need one more internship to graduate. The requirements for the assignment is that it must be a research assignment in the area of IT and business during my the 5 months internship.

I have been looking for an internship, work placement with graduation assignment for quite some time now and barely get responses.
There was one, but it is about hiring me as a IT support/dutch, which doesnt meet the requirements of my study. I have had some interviews with them by phone and I passed them but, the problem is that i need an assignment to graduate, and i have been talking with them about finding me one, but somehow they dont understand that and just want to hire me for the job :S. Its not a problem to do the job besides the graduation assignment but i need to find one first.

So I want to ask you, are there any companies, tips for me to find an internship assignment in an IT company in Cracow?
I am about to give up now, and find one in Holland xD.

Languages:
Dutch: Native
English: Fluent
Vietnamese: Good

Thank you very much,

I guess no one can give me any advice? :S about time to give up then.

Thanks for reading.

Well I did include a document with my cover letters, with 20 examples of assignments that meets the requirements, but I guess the thing is that they don't want to waste time on guidance and be a contact person for my mentor.

I guess that u need connections to get in, I'm also not familiar with what companies providing this kind of internships.
I've tried almost all International IT companies in Cracow.

Like F Stop said, pitch some idea or whatever be proactive!

I did, in the document u can read what kind of internships meet the requirements, also some ideas of what possibly I could be doin. I've tried all the bigger international companies already, its either non response or, u are qualified but this is not the right time. I've tried 2 of the 3 companies u wrote down already, the last one i just sended.

Anyway thanks for helping guys! I appreciate it, its just so much harder finding an internship overseas than in my own country.
They say no pain no gain, but after 2,5 months i think this is the last week I am trying.

Yep, Thank you for your information.
Well it's an internship, I am not looking to get big money or something, mayb a bit to survive, mayb non, it's just that I don't know their language, I think that's the biggest problem.

Yea US is a different story ^^, I kinda wanna stay in Europe, but mayb I should consider :) thanks anyway.
