Once you have a focus regarding the type (or types) of internship(s) that would be most interesting, think about postings, people, and places.
- POSTINGS - Start with Handshake, Naz's online database of internships and jobs. If an employer wants to advertise an opening to our campus, this is where you'll find it! Beyond NazLink, talk with the director of internships about brainstorming other locations and websites to find postings in your area of interest.
- PEOPLE - Alert your friends, faculty members, parents, and neighbors (everyone!) that you're looking for an internship. Talk to them about your interests and help them help you. It is common for students to find an internship through a networking connection.
- PLACES - Do you have a specific company in mind? Or can you make a list of companies that do what you want to do? (Your advisor, the director of internships and online searching can help.) With that list, we can circle back to PEOPLE and POSTINGS to see if we can find a connection for you.
Then apply! It can be a little anxiety-provoking, but don't let that stop you from hitting submit. Many of the best positions fill quickly.
Remember, if you find or develop an internship on your own, talk with the director of internships and your departmental advisor about the position, to ensure it will be approved for credit.
