Vol. 2, No. 5

Welcome to Career Services’ latest issue of The Internship Bulletin. Our goal is to keep you informed about the internship resources available through the Office of Career Services and to provide you with information to help you with your internship search.

As we mentioned in previous issues, we encourage you to register on Miami CAREERlink as one part of your internship search. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST UPLOAD A RESUME AS A PART OF THE REGISTRATION PROCESS. If you do not upload a resume, your resume will not appear in the Resume Book available to employers.

To review how to access Miami CAREERlink and the internship listings please refer to our first issue of The Internship Bulletin.
