Finding Internship Opportunities

At the UW, the HuskyJobs system is a great starting point for your search because it is the place where the largest number of internship opportunities can be found. But you will want to explore all options and cast a wide net while looking for the position that is the best fit for your objectives.

Resources for locating internship positions include:

• HuskyJobs: This is the primary UW system for locating internship opportunities. The system is maintained by the UW Career Center, which also maintains a set of notebooks with additional opportunities.
  
  
• BSchool email listserv: This weekly email digest includes position listings and other useful internship information. To subscribe to this list, click here and send an email asking to subscribe; include your UW email address.
  
  
• Paper announcements: The internships bulletin board is in Mackenzie Hall, across from the main advising office for business undergraduates.
  
  
• The Carlson Center: This center maintains a listserv for internships positions focused on public service and the non-profit sector.
  
  
• Company websites: If you are interested in particular companies, check their websites directly. Many companies post internships only on their own sites.

Your search should not be limited to only posted positions. You have a great deal of leeway for creating your own internship position.

Be prepared when you approach a company about creating your own internship and be ready to help the company understand the value that each of you would receive. A written proposal outlining your interests and hopes for the role is the best way to get started .
