Resources at William and Mary

 

Tribe Careers- This is a great place to get your feet wet, explore internships nearby and see who's scheduled to come to campus. You can upload your resume here and add in interests and preferences to help employers find you. Remember, don't use one resume for all employers! Craft it to the job or internship description. Most large companies have an electronic system that uses algorithms to weed out many canidates before your resume hits their desk! Because really, a company like Apple isn't going to read every Americans' resume.

Here you can find job and internship postings from employers such as Disney, NBC and hundreds more. Explore the possibilities!
