| Advice on Finding a Job/Internship | |
CMC’s Career Services Center is available to students looking for postgraduate work, summer internships, or just general career advice. The office specializes in finding jobs for econ, accounting, and politics majors. There are recruitment programs from investment banks, consulting firms, and accounting firms.
The center can connect students with alumni in the field, as well as the location they wish to work. CMC’s alumni network is very supportive, and this can be a great way to find a job. Many students aren’t completely satisfied with the Career Services Center and find they have to do a lot of work on their own, but the center does offer a helpful variety of support services.
Some further points to remember: • Go into the Career Services Center a little earlier in your college life than you think you might need to. Talking to the counselors can make everything seem a little less confusing. • Go to on-campus events with Alumni and Ath talks that interest you and use the opportunity to network. • Pay attention to your Informs for internship opportunities. • The Kravis Leadership Institute gives grants to students who work unpaid internships at not-for-profit organizations both domestically and internationally. • The Mentor Café, the alumni mentorship program, can be a great way to talk to someone who can help you figure out what types of careers might suit you and help you figure out how to get the job you want.
