"How YOU prepare in the present will predict how YOU perform in the future"

“February is almost over and before you know it, Spring break will be here. Now is the time to consider looking for internship and summer job opportunities. The earlier you think ahead, the better. Employers know that you will not be available until the summer, but that does not give you a reason to wait until May 1st to look for an internship or job. Husker Hire Link has some great opportunities listed. Another great resource is the professors in your major. Ask them whether they know of any internships related to your major in the Lincoln area. Time often goes by a lot faster than we anticipate, so why not plan ahead!”
