Summertime

By: Cristin Coons

Summertime means cookouts, swimming trips and applying for fall internships. That’s right, while you’re relaxing at home this summer, working a part-time job or you’ve already landed a dream summer internship, the time has come to search and apply for fall internship opportunities. 

Several websites are devoted specifically to helping college students find internships year-round. A great resource to take advantage of at this time of year is YouTern.com. They have postings for all sorts of jobs as well as a search engine that could help you find and land your dream internship. Follow them on Twitter for up-to-date postings and articles with advice. 

Another great resource for internships is located right here at Purdue. The Center for Career Opportunities offers its own job search on their website, cco.purdue.edu. Sign up for their CCO Express, where you can search for internships by region, major, paid or non-paid and more. You can also stop by their office in Stewart Center for one-on-one help with applying and interviewing for positions. 

Also don’t forget to use LACD for all of your career/internship needs. Check out our website, purdue.edu/cla, for access to Are You Career Conscious, a handbook with tips on everything from resumes and cover letters to the job search and graduate school.
