 US University Careers Web Pages
Just as your university's careers centre has a website that you can access to find employment, so do American universities. Searching an American university's career website is another effective way to search for an internship. While some university websites may be password protected (to only allow their students access to the jobs listings), there are a number of universities that you can still access. Here is a sample of a few:
 American Newspapers
These can be an excellent primary source, as they carry specific job advertisements as well as general information about industries and locations which can lead you on to other research. These publications are available at major newsagencies in larger cities, in some Public and University Libraries, in the American Studies Department at universities, in US consulates, and on the web.
 Personal Contacts
Sometimes our best contacts are right in front of us. Talk to your lecturers and tutors, as many of them have either come from a business background or have connections to people in your desired field. Ask whether they have any contacts in the States, get them to suggest organisations you should approach directly or whether they have any general tips or suggestions.
Talk to your friends, your parents and their friends to see if they have any connections with the USA. You are not asking them to give you a job, just requesting a contact or an address. This is a very common way to find a position in the USA.
 International Affairs or Careers Advisor
Your university/college's Careers Office may have lists of employers who have US connections. The Careers Advisor may have some helpful information and may be able to give you other general advice or specific contacts.
 Trade Association
The US Chamber of Commerce and other professional organisations will have US contacts or listings of American organisations and related businesses that can be good primary sources.
 Direct Emails
When new internships become available we send out an e-Newsletter about the job, together with employer contact details, directly to potential applicants. Make sure you have registered your contact details with us and you will benefit by hearing about new opportunities as soon as they become available.
