NSC 491: Job and Internship Search Strategies

Do the stuff you know you need to do--and get credit for it!

This one-credit course focuses on helping you finding a job or internship by showing you how to:

• Research companies and non-profits
• Identify your skills
• Write professional resumes and coverletters
• Interview effectively
• Manage your money after graduation

There are two different sections of this course, since different disiplines have different hiring timelines:

FALL 2007: Job & Internship Search in Lab Science & Industry
For students looking for positions in biomedical, pharmaceutical, & other industries

SPRING 2008: Job & Internship Search in Environmental Science
For students looking for field biology positions with non-profits, zoos, governments, and other conservation organizations
