Search for a Job / Internship

Job hunting is like launching a startup—it takes initiative, resilience, and the ability to pivot. If your first plan doesn’t work, then try another approach. It is important to stay motivated and flexible, and open to opportunities. Success often comes through relationships—so engage, connect, and grow your professional network. Utilize a similar approach and resources when searching for internship opportunities, which can lead to full-time job opportunities.
