[quote=Anonymous]For my junior (CS-adjacent major at a big state U), he had a part-time internship after freshman year through a family friend. Sophomore year he went to some career fairs but mostly applied to a ton of internship listings found on Indeed and/or Handshake (the school jobs portal). Had a few interviews but nothing came through and he worked retail that summer (could have gone back to family friend but wanted a lot more hours). Junior year he started from beginning of 1st semester going to job fairs and applying to listings found via Indeed, Handshake. Google Jobs. Ended up getting a couple interviews from the Indeed applications and has an excellent internship for this summer that was finalized by winter break.

My freshman environmental science major (regional LAC) looked on local area parks, natural resources organization, etc. websites for job listings starting over winter break. Is currently deciding between two offers with a local park system. She didn't do anything with her college except to get feedback on her resume since she said when she looked at what they listed there really wasn't anything near our home and she wants to be home this summer.

IME, the career centers are most useful for resume help and interview coaching but my kids found more potential opportunities searching on their own + parent connections. DD has also gone to some "alumni chat" events focused on careers in her major which she seemed to find helpful just as general education.[/quote]
