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:
Albertson
College of Idaho
Albion
College
 Alfred
State College
Arizona
State University
Californian
State University of Sacramento
Central
Washington University

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.
