Find Jobs and Internships

Looking for a job is a job in itself. Make the process easier and more productive.

Your time should be split between networking and engaging potential contacts, researching, sending out resumes and cover letters, and following up on leads. Effective self-marketing can tell the person with the hiring power who you are and what you can do. You will then be better positioned to respond and apply promptly, demonstrating your enthusiasm for emerging job and internship opportunities.

The Career Development Center serves as a referral source for jobs and other opportunities and generally cannot make
specific recommendations regarding off-campus employers. The Center makes no guarantees about the positions listed
by the Center on Purchase JobScore.

The Center is not responsible for safety, wages, working conditions or other aspects of off-campus employment. Due to the large volume of jobs received by the Center, we are not able to research the integrity of each and every organization or individual that lists a job with us. Students and alumni are urged to use their common sense when applying for any job or internships, particularly if it is a domestic role and employment in a private home, or other opportunities not affiliated with a public or private sector organization.

While the Career Development Center makes every reasonable effort to ensure that employers engaged in campus hiring practices (either online or in person) adhere to certain ethical standards, be aware that some organizations may participate in illegal recruiting and business practices.

We encourage you to research companies using the resources suggested by the Career Center. Please contact the Career
Center with questions or if you determine any company listing jobs or internships has
misrepresented opportunities.
