Job/Internship Resources
Before you start applying for internships and full-time positions, it is essential that you have a resume, cover letter, and list of references prepared. It is recommended that you begin your job and internship search several months in advance so don’t wait until the last minute!
Even if they are not required by your major, internships are a great way to explore a potential career, gain experience and obtain professional contacts for post-graduation. Be sure to register on Nittany Lion Career Network to check out available jobs and internships both locally and nationwide!
If you need help preparing for your job or internship search, please contact the Advising and Career Center at 717-771-4053 to schedule an appointment with a career counselor.
