Still seeking a fall internship? It's not too late to gain meaningful experience this fall; however it helps to keep an open mind regarding opportunities. Volunteer work, unpaid opportunities, research and even part time fall jobs are all resume builders that build skill sets and are valuable to prospective employers.

Contact employers directly. Many employers are open to the idea of taking on an intern or volunteer, but it’s important to have a clear idea of what you would like to do before making contact. CareerSearch is an extensive database that allows you to search for employers by industry in your hometown and often provides contact information.

Nonprofits are also an excellent way to gain experience and they need students from all majors to lend their expertise. Use CareerSearch to find non-profits in your hometown. Idealist.org provides a comprehensive list of internships and volunteer opportunities with over 30,000 nonprofits.

You can also try Google and Craigslist.org for fall job boards. Temp agencies can also be a good resource for fall opportunities. Just be sure to use your best judgment and cautiously evaluate job postings.
