Helpful internship information for students who are abroad this semester: You should have received a couple s from the Career Center with all of this information but to recap some of what those s stated read below. Though you are not on-campus to participate in these events, there are still actions you can take while abroad to prepare for the summer internship search. Following are a few tips for September: Review the list of employers attending upcoming fairs, networking events or on-campus recruiting through your EagleLink account. You can reach out to any employers you are interested in and apply for positions while overseas, even through the on campus recruiting process. Explain to the employer that you are overseas and won t be able to attend the fair or event, but that you are very interested in their organization. Also, ensure you mention when you plan to return back to the U.S. from your abroad experience. NOTE: Students who are studying abroad are welcome to apply for positions linked to on-campus interviews.
