Building Experience

Build Experience NOW

  • Participate in Co-curricular/Volunteer Activities
  • Seek Part-Time/Summer Jobs
  • Take a Class or Conduct Research

Participate in Co-curricular/Volunteer Activities

  • Join student organizations or an Athletic Team to meet people, get involved and develop leadership and other skills
  • Seek opportunities for leadership within an organization or athletic team (i.e. become an officer or take on a position that demands responsibility)
  • Volunteer on campus or in the community.  For volunteer opportunities, contact Brittany Martin at [email protected]

Check out part-time and summer opportunities

  • Seek Part-time/Summer Jobs
  • Your seemingly unrelated summer/part-time job will help you develop additional skills that can carry over into your professional future.  Example: 'Being a food server will teach you patience, customer service, efficiency, time management and interpersonal skills'.
  • Consider connecting your summer/part-time work with your academic and career goals. Example: 'If you are interested in publishing, seek employment with a local media outlet'.
  • Look for opportunities on Nittany Lion Career Network - https://nittanylioncareers.psu.edu
  • Watch your email for new opportunities that become available in the weekly job and internship email alert
  • Be proactive and ask employers about summer/part-time work opportunities (don’t wait for something to be advertised)

Take a Class or Conduct Research in a Field of Interest

  • Select general education or elective courses that interest you
  • Explore undergraduate research opportunities to work with faculty in a specific academic area or contact a faculty member that you currently have a relationship with to ask about any opportunities with them.

Seek Internships/Co-ops related to your Field

  • Check with your academic advisor to find out if you will need to complete a for-credit internship.
  • Complete an internship for experience (paid or unpaid). You can find companies that are seeking interns by going here.
