Find Opportunities

Where can I start?

Here are some resources to help you get started on your job or internship search. Remember that networking and informational interviewing also play an integral role in both finding and landing the perfect opportunity, and you will need to prepare each application and for each interview. We also encourage you to visit your department's website; they often have targeted resources for their majors. If you are a student interested in research at CC, check out Student Research Opportunities.

Intersectional Identities

We know that your identity can't be encapsulated by a single (or even multiple) links - that's why the links below aren't split into categories. Still, we hope this list will provide you with some solid ground to build on, whether you're looking for a job or an internship, or just looking to gather information. We also encourage you to make an appointment to talk with a Career Consultant, and to visit the Butler Center for additional ideas and support.
