How to find a job or internship in the United States

When you don't have any experience and your resume is not impressive, professor recommendation is the best channel (assuming you don't have a particularly hard relationship in the United States). My sister's first excellent internship was recommended by the professor. Although it is a free internship, it is also this internship, which has brought many good opportunities to my sister. But the recommendation of the professor can't be recommended as soon as it comes up. First of all, you need to impress the professor in class. To do this, we should preview our homework carefully, finish it carefully, and interact with professors more after class. Professors will have office hours, which is a good opportunity to communicate with them. Besides, we have paid the tuition, so naturally we have to go to the professor. Going to the office more often will not only make the professor feel diligent, but also make him really understand this person. It will be more convincing when making recommendations in the future. After talking to the professor alone for three or four times, you can take it to introduce the internship.

1. At the beginning, talk about your career ideal. Ask the professor what skills or qualities he needs to do this job. Ask the professor if anyone who knows this business can be a tutor (in short, be studious and not too utilitarian). Sometimes a professor is doing what he wants to enter the industry, so he can become a tutor. Stay with your tutor, behave well, and express your hope to get an internship in this industry by the way. This is generally not a big problem.

Sometimes, not everyone will be interested in this industry at the beginning of this course. But it is necessary to keep communication and interaction with professors. Maybe at the end of the semester, I suddenly found myself interested in this field. If your grades are good enough, it is usually not difficult to get an internship as a professor. Therefore, it is very important to follow the path of professor and be a good baby.

The school's career center

There are two kinds of vocational centers: schools and colleges, which often publish news about internships and jobs. When you enter the school, remember to ask the teachers in the vocational center how to subscribe to formal career information. And every school's employment center will help students change their resumes and cover letters. Remember, we also pay for these services. So don't use it for nothing. Moreover, Americans have some small rules when writing resumes and cover letters. It will be better to find a teacher to change it. In addition to helping to revise the documents, the Vocational Education Center will also hold some interview skills learning sessions and career planning related lectures from time to time, which you can listen to occasionally. Sometimes the speaker himself is the human resources director of some big companies, and impressing these people will also be helpful for finding a job or internship. Some schools that pay more attention to their career will also hold internship seminars in different industries from time to time, and the company leaders will directly recruit interns. This is also a good opportunity to build your resume.

There is another trick. In most cases, the professional information sent by the company at school will leave the contact information of HR or the contact information of the person in charge. So, even though the career information has been published for a long time, you really want to go to this company. You might as well submit your resume, sometimes there will be unexpected opportunities. That's how one of my classmates got internships in Discovery and Warner Bros..

In addition to the school's big career center, some schools will also have their own career centers in each college. The employment information sent by the college employment center is related to the college major and is screened for everyone. Moreover, the professional information received by the school is all recruitment companies, and the recruitment rate of resumes is quite high. However, this kind of newsletter is usually subscribed separately. I didn't know that the college had such a newsletter in the first two semesters, so I missed many opportunities. Brothers and sisters must ask.

Through the interpretation of how to find internship opportunities in the United States, I believe that many students who intend to find internship opportunities in the United States can refer to the above information and make preparations and plans in advance.
