Finding a Job or Internship

The Lowdown On Finding a Job or Internship

Finding a job on campus is not difficult by any means. Finding and internship or higher-paying job in your field of interest may require more initiative and work on your part. The Student Employment Office aids Work-Study and non-Work-Study students in finding jobs on campus.

The Career Center is an invaluable resource for internships and jobs. It runs an extensive online resource for students, departments and external companies and recruiters. The Career Center publishes student-submitted resumes and is available to students seeking all types of opportunities.

Use of the Directory of Undergraduate Research and Independent Study Opportunities (a catalog of all the research opportunities for undergrads at Case) by contacting listed professors in whose research you have interest often yields good results for motivated students.
