Internship Job Postings & Resources
There are many places you can look to find an internship. Many people find internships simply by word of mouth. If there is an organization you are interested in working with, call them and ask if there are any internship openings. Some resources we offer include the following:
1. Our most important offering is an Email listserve that notifies subscribers of any job openings that we hear about. Everything we hear about goes to this list. Occasionally students and alumni contribute something as well. You can get list postings in your Email, as a regular digest, or you can read mail on the Web. You can also read the list archives on the Web as well. The archives can help you catch up on previous postings. They also give you some leads on past employers to investigate. The archives are very useful. Just subscribing to the list is fine if you have several months to find a position, otherwise you want to be sure to use the archives.
2. Georgia State University has an Office of Civic Engagement, and they might have some opportunities for you. Volunteer work can count for internship credit. The volunteer solutions student guide is a good place to start.
3. You may also find something interesting on the United Way Volunteer Solutions page.
4. Make sure you establish an account on the uLearn Internship homepage. There are two areas you should explore: First, there is the internship experiences icon, where you can get the actual internship descriptions that students posted on the internship bulletin board as part of their course requirements. These descriptions give you considerable detail about where students worked and how they felt about their experiences. The second area to review is the job search aids icon, which provides additional links and informative websites about internship opportunities and facts about successful internships.
While these are some great resources to get your started, you have many other options as well, friends, family, co-workers, fellow students, and other GSU professors. Students are usually very happy with their internships, so keep a positive outlook. Of course, the internship coordinators are happy to talk to you if you are having problems finding an internship.
