Internship Search—Online Resources
Securing a summer or January internship may seem daunting at first. There are
many areas choose from, and many companies to look into within a specific field.
Also, the geographic location of the internship may play a central role in
your decision to apply for the position. Since you can't visit or
call every potential employee, use the internet to uncover opportunities and
discern among them. Developing your own research habits will go a long way
in helping you find and get the one internship that you really want.
