RESEARCH
Use your internet research skills to find companies that do what you want to do. Many company websites often have a “Careers” section that includes internship opportunities.

For websites with internship leads - including international internships - go to the Internship Weblinks page.

Other internship sources include e-leads and Career Beam .

Jackson Library’s Business Librarian and the Career Services Library (#1 EUC) can assist you in researching employers and possible internships.

NETWORK
One of the best ways to get an internship is to let friends, co-workers and faculty know that you are seeking an internship. Be able to clearly state your interests, skills, and goals so that others can possibly suggest contacts for you. If you know a student who is finishing an internship that would appeal to you, ask that student to tell you more about their experience. If interested, ask the student who you might talk to at the internship site.

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT
Jump-start your search for an internship by making an appointment with a Career Counselor (334-5454) and with your Faculty Internship Coordinator in your major department.
