Interested in an Internship?
Internships are a great way to "test-drive" your career interests, helping you to explore the professional arena before you graduate. Internships also help you make invaluable connections and put the skills you learn in the classroom to work. By using what we like to call REPP (reflecting, exploring, preparing and pursuing opportunities), you will be amazed at the results.

There are several other sources for your job search like Indeed, Monster and more. To research these sites, we suggest reading through the content on Consumers Advocate to help you see the options to expand your job search.
