Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia has made available for download a new appealing application for the owners of Windows Phone 8-based Lumia devices in the United States, namely Internships Lens.

The new application has been designed to help recent college graduates find internships that could turn into full-time, salaried positions.

The application mirrors the Nokia JobLens app that was made available in the UK and other markets around the world not long ago, but it’s meant for a different market segment, it seems.

“Internships Lens helps you see internships all around you through augmented reality, and land those internships through some of the biggest, most respected brands in career services,” Nokia explains.

The application will provide users with information powered by Internships.com, LinkedIn, Here Maps, Twitter, Facebook, Windows Live, Salary.com, Zillow, and other content partners.

Basically, the new software should provide users with the possibility to easily discover and apply for thousands of internships through social networks.

Some of the main features that the new mobile application arrives on devices with include:

- Find internships that are right for you - Identify people in your social network who can connect you to the hiring manager - Create and store your resume/CV - Apply to the job - Get directions to the interview - Get up-to-date news and information about employers you like - Learn about internships location demographics and employment trends in your field - Save internships you like and track your progress

According to Nokia, users should log in with their LinkedIn account credentials when prompted during first use. Adding Facebook, Windows Live, and Twitter credentials will enhance the overall experience received by users.

The mobile application is available for download for free for the owners of Windows Phone 8 devices. Users interested in learning more on what Nokia’s Internships Lens app has to offer to them should head over to this page on the Windows Phone Store.
