Focus Issue: Taking the Hunt Out of Job (and Internship) Hunting

These days finding a job can be quite a task, and sometimes finding an internship can be even harder. Luckily for BC students there are a variety of resources available to find that perfect job (or internship) opportunity. The “AHANA Career Link” section of BC’s website provides a plethora of information on where and how to find jobs. The site is well-organized and easy to navigate, providing information on upcoming events, help in choosing a major, and even serves as a guide to improving interview skills.

Anotherhelpful source of information is InRoads.org. The non-profit organization proves to be an excellent guide for minority students wanting to develop a future career in business. Top U.S. corporations in a variety of fields (anywhere from pharmaceuticals to investment banking) take on interns through the organization. As you can see, finding a place to intern or work is really just a mouse-click away!
