Online Resources Many employment opportunities come from people we know, but the Internet can also be a good way to see what is available outside of your existing network. Larger organizations, such as the National Aquarium or the Baltimore Orioles, usually post their internship opportunities online. You can also identify professionals who are already doing what you want to do, and contact them directly. Finally, there are plenty of Internet search engines dedicated to internships. The Internet is wonderful if seeking an internship close-by, out-of-state, or in another country. Off-campus Networking Inform everyone you know what kind of opportunity you seek. You never know who may have a connection. Also, make new connections and meet more people who could help by building relationships through professional organizations. Career fairs are also a great way to meet employers and find out about internship openings. |
