Referrals and withdrawing them

When the business refers you to another business, you are told and the referral is listed on your internship page, where you can take its page down at any time.

Once your internship is completed, the business owner can refer you to another business in one click. That business gets an email with a link to a page showing your work, and your email address so they can get in touch.

What the other business sees

The referral page shows:

  • who referred you, and the outcome of your internship with its dates,
  • the brief you worked to,
  • how many weekly check-ins you posted, with the latest three,
  • your capstone,
  • the owner's note and reference letter, if they added them,
  • a "Contact" button with your email.

No login is needed to open it.

You are told each time

You get the email "referred you to another business", with the link the other business got and an "Open your internship page" button.

See your referrals

Open "Internship" in the menu at the top and scroll to "Referrals". Each row shows who you were referred to, when it was sent, and whether it has been opened. "See the page they got" opens the same page they see.

Take a referral page down

  1. Press "Revoke" on the referral.
  2. Press "Yes, take the page down" to confirm, or "Keep it" to change your mind.

The page and the reference letter link stop working straight away: "Revoked. The page and the letter link no longer work." You cannot undo this; the owner would need to send a new referral.

Limits

Only completed internships can be referred. An internship that ended early cannot.

  • Outcome and reference letter

    How your internship ends, where to find the outcome and download your reference letter, and how to share the milestone.

  • The placements listing

    After a completed internship you can choose to show the placement on the site, next to the business, if the business agrees to be listed too. It is off until you say yes.
