During Fall Semester
If you plan on securing an internship for Summer 2018:
Most employers start looking for their summer interns during the fall semester. Don't miss out on great opportunities by delaying your search. Make sure your resume looks great. Always be networking. Use multiple resources to conduct your search. Don't forget to follow up on the applications you send out. By starting your search in the fall, you increase the likelihood of securing an internship for next summer instead of putting it off until the spring semester.
If you plan on graduating in December 2018:
If you have not already started your search for a full-time job, what are you waiting for? It's not too late, but you may have to put in some extra effort to have a job lined up by graduation. It can take up to six months to search, network, apply, follow up, and interview, before finally accepting an offer. If it is your goal to have a job secured by the time you graduate, it's time to get your search on!
