Where to Find Job Postings

Where can I start my job search?

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 interested in faculty research at CC, check out the faculty scholarship guide and the faculty scholarship search.

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 Coach, and to visit the Butler Center for additional ideas and support.
