Jobs & Internships

Here's two PDFs that outline the best practices you can use when searching for employment on our job board, handling job offers and when considering job search safety:

If you are unsure of your major, uncertain of what career options are available in your major, or would like to explore careers and gain practical experience in your industry of choice, consider completing an internship! Internships are a great way for students to build on the principles they’ve learned in the classroom in a real-world setting. An internship can assist you in:

• Gaining industry knowledge and hands-on job experience that you can't get in the classroom. Internships let you apply what you've learned and develop practical, transferable skills.
• Explore different career paths and companies. Internships expose you to potential careers and help determine if a particular role or industry is the right fit.
• Make connections and expand your network. Interacting with professionals can build your contacts for future job opportunities. Many companies hire from their intern pool.
• Enhance your resume. Internship experience signals to employers that you have initiative and practical abilities. Listing an internship on a resume can make you stand out.
