How people ask for it

2 examples written by Taskly from what people search for in the US. Real tasks look like these.

  • “Help me get an internship as a sophomore in computer science”

    I'm a sophomore in college studying computer science, and I want a plan for how to get an internship for next summer. I go to a state university in Georgia, have a 3.4 GPA, and have never had a tech internship. My only work experience is at a grocery store.

    I know Python and Java from classes and I've built one Flask web app. I don't know whether to apply to big tech programs for sophomores, focus on smaller local companies, or do research with a professor first, and I'm not sure my resume would get past a screen.

    For: CS sophomore at a US state university seeking a first internship

    Example task, written by Taskly. Yours can be one line; your Tasker will ask what they need.
  • “Big Four internship prep for an accounting student”

    I want internship prep for accounting students from someone who has been through Big Four or regional firm recruiting. I'm a junior accounting major at a university in Texas with a 3.6 GPA, aiming for an audit internship.

    Firm recruiting at my school restarts in the spring semester with Meet the Firms, office visits and coffee chats, and I freeze when I have to make small talk with partners and managers. I also don't know how to answer 'why audit' or 'why this firm' without sounding scripted.

Good questions

What people ask before they post this in the US.

  • 01

    How much does internship and campus-placement prep cost in the US?

    Usually $50–250. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.

  • 02

    When should CS sophomores apply for summer internships?

    Many large companies open applications in late summer and fall for the following summer, while smaller companies often hire into spring. Applying early and steadily to both widens your chances.

  • 03

    What should a sophomore's resume include with no internship?

    Coursework, one or two projects with links, hackathons or clubs, and any work experience framed around responsibility and results. Keep it to one page, with projects near the top.

  • 04

    What do Big Four recruiters look for in accounting interns?

    Solid grades, a clear reason for choosing audit or tax, involvement in groups such as Beta Alpha Psi, and the ability to hold a relaxed professional conversation. Following up after events also matters.

  • 05

    How should I follow up after a recruiting event?

    Send a short note within a day or two that mentions something specific you discussed, thanks them for their time and, if it fits, asks a brief follow-up question.

  • 06

    How does paying work?

    Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.

  • 07

    Who are the Taskers?

    People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.
