Internship Opportunities | Advice from Career Services

Search online. A good place to start your search is Tufts Career Connect — a job and internship database specifically for Tufts students.

Establish a list of potential employers within the targeted fields you have identified from your research. Directly contact employers to inquire about summer internship opportunities. Think about ways your education, skills and abilities could match well with the needs of the employer.

Take advantage of networking opportunities. Students can contact alumni for advice about finding internships in various fields through the Tufts Career Network and can also speak with faculty, advisors, family and friends to gain advice and information pertinent to their internship search.

Attend campus events. Alumni speak on career panels and employers host information sessions during the academic year.

Go to career fairs and internship events. Speak with people to obtain information about organizations and possible internship opportunities.

Use the Career Resource Library in Dowling Hall. Books, periodicals, videos and other reference materials are available to assist with internship searches.
