Find a Job or Internship

The first step in finding a job is usually creating a resume. Our Resume Builder will help you do just that.

Then, you can use it to apply for local jobs through our online job board.

The job board also lists internship opportunities. Internships typically do not pay, but you can use them to get college credit, learn new skills and gain experience for your resume.

When you find a job, remember that you can also earn college credit for the learning you do there. Check out Cooperative Work Experience for more information about how.
