Volunteering Resources

Why should I consider volunteering?

 

Part of being a great volunteer is loving what you're doing. Find something that you're passionate about or something that inspires you, and then find a need in your community. There are dozens of reasons why you should volunteer - you just need to find the one that feels right.

  • Reflect on your interests, passions, and skills.

  • Research duties and tasks associated with occupations.

  • Identify positions and organizations of interest to learn about requirements, environment, and work culture.

Internship Resources

What is an internship and why should I consider it?

 

​If you want to start making yourself look competitive for jobs or your future career starting off with 50, 60, 70k, an internship is highly suggested to make this a reality.

  • Opportunity to build your knowledge and skills, exposure to opportunities, and connections to professionals in your field.

  • Any practical experience related to your career goals.

  • Internships can be paid or unpaid; however, you don't want to miss an opportunity just because one may be unpaid. That unpaid opportunity for 3 months could lead to a big salary depending on how well you do during the months of your internship.

Searching for Internships

Timing of your search: 

  • Start your search in September if you want to be part of a formal intern program at a large company. Many large corporations try to hire all of their summer interns before Thanksgiving.

  • Government agencies tend recruit interns late in the fall semester or near the beginning of the calendar year.

  • Small organizations or non-profits often begin seeking summer interns in February or later.

Utilize your college resources:​

  • Career fairs are great in exposing yourself to a variety of companies looking to recruit fresh new talent! Don't misjudge the value of one event as it could help you make connections.

  • Search individual company websites, internship databases, or general search engines to uncover internships that interest you. 

  • Many companies also host recruiting events which can give you an opportunity to meet 1 on 1 with recruiters from those companies.​
