The end of the semester is getting closer, but it’s not too late to land a summer internship. Career Services offers tools, tips and support to help you stay motivated and make your search more effective.  

Here are some tips to help you in your search, but remember—you don’t have to do everything at once. Choose what works best for you. 

  Streamline your search 

Saved searches can save you a lot of time. Instead of checking job boards every day, set up alerts so new opportunities come straight to you. 

All current CU students already have a Handshake account. In Handshake, you can: 

• Filter jobs by industry, location or role 

• Save your search so you’re notified when new positions are posted 

• Customize how often you receive email alerts 

You can even create multiple saved searches if you’re exploring different fields or locations. 

  Stay one step ahead 

Being prepared makes it easier to apply quickly when a great opportunity pops up.  

Before you apply: 

• Create a resume and cover letter template you can easily customize 

• Highlight your skills, experience and accomplishments 

• Use resume writing tips and the Quinncia AI resume editor to get instant feedback 

Additionally, knowing how to clearly talk about your experiences can help you stand out. 

For interviews: 

• Review common interview questions 

• Write out and practice your answers with a friend, family member or career advisor 

• Try Quinncia’s AI mock interview tool to build confidence
