Resources for Finding an Internship
While Career Services offers resources and assistance in helping you find an internship site, we do not offer placement services. It is the responsibility of the student to secure an internship with an employer. (Please note that hiring decisions are made by the employer, not by the Career Services Director.)
SERVICES for Students Seeking Internships
- Postings: Internship openings that are posted by employers can be found utilizing the Carthage online job posting system, Carthage Career Connection. Current students please contact Career Services for your user name and password.
- On-Campus Recruiting: Employers conduct interviews on campus for full-time and internship positions in the spring and fall.
- On-Line Resources: Check out the Career Services website for links to internship postings.
- Publications: The Career Services library resources include several books listing internship opportunities.
- Internship Resource Database: The IRD is a database maintained by Career Services where information about potential internship sites is organized. The IRD also includes information about past and present employers who have hired Carthage interns. Make an appointment with Career Services to conduct a search of the database.
OTHER RESOURCES
- Personal Networks: Activate your personal network of friends, family members, former employers, etc. Let everyone know what kind of internship you are seeking. Most job openings are advertised only by word of mouth.
- Faculty: Oftentimes faculty members are contacted directly by employers. Check with the faculty of your department to see if they have any suggestions.
- Direct Contact: Use general resources, like the yellow pages or the Area Employers page on this website, to identify companies at which you might like to intern. Call the Human Resources department and inquire about potential opportunities for interns.
