Here are four quick tips to help you find a Service Design internship in Switzerland.

1. Look for agencies.

2. Look who hired service designers in the past.

3. Get an internship in one of the cousins of Service Design.

4. Get an internship outside of Switzerland.

Look for agencies

Agencies and consultancies, like Accenture, are some of the best places to find internships.

They always need fresh new blood, and usually, they are the ones that have the most Service Design projects.

Look who hired service designers

One of the best ways to get an internship is to get it before that people even post the job post about the internship.

To get there, look at who hired service designers in the past.

And then, send them a very short email saying you're looking for an internship with a link to your CV and portfolio.

What's important is that you send it to a lot of places.

Look in related fields

The term Service Design isn't used as often in Switzerland as it is used in other places in the world.

So it is smart to look for internships, not only with the word Service Design but also with all the terms of practices that are near to Service Design.

For example, look for internships that have the terms: design thinking, design sprint, customer experience, and so on.

Look outside Switzerland

In the end, remember, Switzerland is a very small country.

So sometimes you have to get your first experience, not directly in Switzerland. But somewhere else.

The UK, and specifically London, is a great place for people to get started in Service Design.

There Service Design is mature, both in-house and in agencies.

And as most people who have learned Service Design already speak English, you are already in a very good position to get a job in London.
