General Advice:
1. Plan early! Some organizations, including the Federal Government, have deadlines as early as November. Most of the openings for summer jobs and internships will occur between December and March. Ideally, do research during the fall semester and begin to make inquiries over winter break.
2. Before searching, consider your goals and ask yourself a few questions. What career fields are you interested in? What do you hope to gain from your internship? What types of organizations are you interested in working for? Where do you want to have your internship?
3. Come up with a plan and be proactive in your search. Don't rely only on email announcements or internships posted to OCEAN. Be creative and look for opportunities.
4. Prepare a resume and cover letter. When you apply for a summer positions, many organizations will use these as their application. Attend a resume preparation workshop and have your resume reviewed to help you get started.
5. Prepare for the interview. Be as familiar as possible with the organization. Talk to friends and alumni, and use the resources in the library and on the web.
