Frequently Asked Questions

A.

Parker Dewey Micro-Internships are open to students and recent graduates who meet the following criteria:

  • 18 or older
  • Currently attending or have recently graduated from a US-based higher education institution
  • Authorized to work in the United States or have a valid ITIN number
A.

There is no official cutoff, but Parker Dewey is designed to help early career professionals launch their careers. For this reason, established professionals likely won’t find the projects as valuable as current students or more recent graduates do.

Because most companies are using the platform intentionally to engage early career talent, established professionals are also less likely to be selected for Micro-Internships unless their profile makes it clear that they’re transitioning into a new career field.

A.

Projects completed through Parker Dewey are available to international students who are either affiliated with one of our partner programs, or those attending a US-based college or university. In both cases, the student must have approved Curricular Practical Training (CPT), Optional Practical Training (OPT), or other work authorization.

If you are a current F-1/J1 international student, contact international student support staff at your institution to confirm your eligibility before applying to projects. 

If selected for a Micro-Internship, it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with internship requirements and USCIS regulations.

A.

Current students and alumni do not need to have DACA or TPS to apply to Micro-internships.  All Micro-internships are structured as independent contract work, which means successful applicants would be hired by Parker Dewey as independent contractors.

Other Considerations:

You may use your work authorization or a valid ITIN to be paid as an independent contractor.

You may already have an ITIN if your parents ever filed income taxes and claimed you as a dependent. You can find out if you have an ITIN in your parents’ tax forms.

If you have an ITIN, make sure to find out if it has expired. If it has, you will need to renew it. Find information on ITIN expiration and renewal here.

If you do not have an ITIN, you can learn how to obtain one here: ITIN Guide or this video from Immigrants Rising.

A.

To apply for these Micro-Internships, you must create a Career Launcher account on Parker Dewey. Once you've set up your profile, you'll be able to view and apply for available Micro-Internship projects.

After you've submitted an application, the company will be able to view it. At this point, they may message you with follow-up questions, or to schedule a brief interview, but many organizations will make their selection based entirely on the profile and application responses, without any further interview process. You'll be notified via email if you've received a message or been selected.
