Entry Level, Internship, & Seasonal Jobs
These Web sites specialize in entry level jobs, internships for college and graduate school students, and/or they offer summer/seasonal jobs for students. Most college and university placement offices also provide summer jobs and internship listings, often at sites available only to "subscribing" schools, so check your school's career center to see what they have and to get the passwords and other access information as necessary.
Many Web employment sites also offer entry level, intern/co-op, and short-term job postings, too. Check out the Employment Supersites and Freelancing, Consulting, Contracting, and Temping. In addition, Job-Hunt links to the employment/careers section of the Websites of more than 8,000 employers.
Looking for your first job? See Job-Hunt's Job Search for New Grads section for articles and advice, and also Job-Hunt's Directory of Fortune 1000 Companies which includes links both to their internship postings and also their current job listings.
Search Tip: If there's no category for internship opportunities in a Web job site or if you are using a search engine, test your search terms. A search on the keyword "intern" or "internship" (singular) often, but not always, provides more results than a search on "interns" (plural) or "internships." So, try all 3 terms to be sure.- American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) - fellowships available annually, with applications available at the start of the academic year.
