Vol. 2, No. 2
Welcome to this year’s second 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 the first issue, we encourage you to register on Miami CAREERlink as one part of your internship search.
When students register and upload their resume(s) on Miami CAREERlink, they gain access to a powerful resource for their internship search. Many employers use Miami CAREERlink to identify candidates and invite them to interview on-campus. Students also gain access to internship listings of employers who may not come to campus to recruit.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST UPLOAD A RESUME AS A PART OF THE REGISTRATION PROCESS.
To review how to access Miami CAREERlink and the internship listings please refer to the first issue of The Internship Bulletin.
Additional ways to look for an internship may include networking, using the internship directories in the Career Resource Center, making an appointment with a Career Advisor, and attending a How to Begin Your Internship Search workshop.
