When should I
start job/internship searching?
|
|

Full-time: Employers start recruiting in the fall for December & May
graduates. There will be some employers who ONLY come in the fall
semester to recruit new grads. If you are a senior, the best time
to start is NOW! Even though you are busy with school work now,
you will find it much easier to get interviews, etc while you are still a
current student. Because employers recruit for new grad positions well
in advance of actual work start dates, if you wait until you graduate to job
search, it may take months before you could start working (and getting
paid). |

Internships: Many companies start recruiting
for summer interns in the late fall to early spring. Every company has
a different timeline, so I would recommend setting up a custom search in
ePack to be sure you don't miss anything. Additionally, if you know
you are interested in working with a specific company, contact them directly
to be sure you don't miss their application deadline. Contacts for
many companies can be found in the employer section of your ePack account.
First year grad students who are on a student visa may want to wait until
early spring semester to search due to the timeline for getting approval
from the university, and so you'll have a GPA from NC State.
