My name is Angelica and I am a Dominican Student enrolled in an exchange program at Farmingdale State College. I am almost graduating with a 3.75 GPA and would like to receive more information about any opportunity I could take advantage of.

Thanks in advance,

Hello Angelica,

* Check out job/internship search engines to look for an internship in your particular area of interest. You can try Idealist - www.idealist.org , and Monster College – www.college.monster.com.

* Use www.google.com or www.yahoo.com to conduct your own search. What are you majoring in? What area would you like your internship to be in? For example, if you are studying sociology then you would want to type in phrases, such as “Sociology Internship.”

* Go to your advisor to see if they can give you information on internships. Talk to professors to see if they can direct you to other opportunities. Your school may also have listings of internships so ask about those.

* Use our website to find internships and scholarships. For internships opportunities, go to “useful links” and click on the subcategory “HISPANIC ORGANIZATIONS” - [www.latinosincollege.com]. Here you will find a list of organizations that provide internships, scholarships and mentoring services.

* Since you are an exchange student, make sure you read the requirements for the internships you apply. Many require that you are a US citizen if they are paid.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Good luck!

Hi, like Angelica, I'm graduating in May with a 3.89 GPA and are looking (preferably) for jobs but an internship would be good too. Thanks for letting us know of any opportunities.
