1. Internship Workshop
Anne Evans, Assistant Director of Internships & Student Employment from the Career Center visited and gave a workshop on internships and research experience. She also gave us some tips on interviews and other advice.

You can get credit for most internships, but the experience is what matters.

Networking is important in finding a job or internship. Connect with everyone and clean up your Facebook because employers will look you up.

Make sure to look at the postings on broncojobs

If you need help with your resume, interview tips, or need help finding a job you can contact Anne at: anneevans@boisestate.edu
