Searching for an internship can be a job in and of itself. In this day and age, successful applicants reach beyond their computer screens and make use of their professional networks to land the perfect position. However, many searches start on the web. Here we have compiled a list of a few accurate and easy-to-use websites to help you launch your job or internship search:
Glassdoor
In addition to the typical job an internship posts, Glassdoor allows you to view a company’s salaries for positions of interest and employee-written reviews.
Idealist.org
In addition to paid job and internship, Idealist has numerous listings for volunteer opportunities.
Indeed
Indeed is widely used for customary job searches, but many are not aware that they also have listings for several internships.
Internships.com
Internships.com allows applicants to filter listings by college major, location, and company. Most listings on this site are suitable for college students and entry-level applicants. Additionally, the “Internship Predictor” feature recommends keywords to use when searching online for internships.
