NEWHOUSE CDC'S SIX STEPS TO FIND AN INTERNSHIP
Adapted from the Newhouse Tina Press and David Ruben Career Center publication. Visit the CDC in NH 3 for more in-depth information and one-on-one assistance.

• Establish your criteria: You need to know your purpose, location, and credit options.
• Review existing internship opportunities: Look online and in the CDC for current postings.
• Identify additional internship opportunities: Look for more info in the NH "Industry Directories", yellow pages, chambers of commerce, NACAN, trade magazines, and the Career Services "Vault" in Schine.
• Call companies or visit websites to get more detailed info on the internships: Look for info about requirements, contacts, start dates, submission deadlines, and departmental specifications.
• Apply to your internships: The CDC recommends applying to three to twelve opportunities.
• Follow up and maintain contact: Every few weeks should remind them you're interested.
