Research academic and career interests and opportunities
Why Do Research?
Conducting research is an essential step in uncovering information and opportunities. As you use the Internet to conduct your research, you will want to focus on learning about companies/organizations, while also trying to identify specific contacts to whom you can send a resume and cover letter.
Keep in mind:
- Very few sites have specific links or pages dedicated to internships.
- Some sites will have links to 'careers', "volunteer opportunities", or "employment", which might offer useful contact info., but should not be relied on exclusively.
