Want to make the most of your summer? Start now!

Collegiettes, it is that time of the year again.  We all want summer to come as fast as it can: no class, shorts and dresses, days at the beach, and refreshing iced coffee.  But we all know summer is a lot more than just these things.  It is also the time to work and save up money for school, study abroad, or the future.  Not only that, but summer is the perfect time to score an internship and work towards career goals.  However, in order to have a productive summer you need to start looking for internships and jobs as soon as possible.  Here are a few places to begin your search:
 
 
Your school’s career services:
Here at UConn we are lucky to have Career Services, which can help you find an internship, so check out the website here to do a search of local internships.  You can also talk to professors or advisors for more opportunities.
 
Search engines:
 There are lots of internship-specific search engines on the web including www.internships.com and www.college.monster.com/education.  Check out HerCampus’ own internship listings at http://www.hercampus.com/careerette.
You can also use search engines to look for jobs for the summer!
 
Networking with professors, family and friends: 
This goes for jobs as well as internships.  Let your family and friends know that you are looking for summer opportunities; you never know what may come up!
 
 
The sooner you begin your search the better you chance you have of scoring your dream internship or finding the perfect job for the summer.
