Getting Experience

Before you start looking for a job or internship, there are two things you need to know:

1. You need an updated resume. This is the most important part of applying to a job. If you don't have an updated resume, you are not ready to start looking for a job.
2. A job search takes time and energy. Students don't find good jobs or internships overnight, and people certainly don't get hired overnight. Be ready to work hard and put in the time it takes to find a job.

Please refer to our resources for some useful places to start looking for jobs.
