How to search and apply for off-campus jobs/internships?

Here are some ways I know of to find off-campus opportunities:

To stay updated about openings,bookmark this:

Referral:

  • Before applying for a job opening, try getting a referral from an employee of the company by sending them your resume along with the job ID/link.
  • After receiving the referral, you'll get a unique referral link for that job in your email. Apply using that link.

Cold Email:

You can reach out to HR/EM/CEO/CTO.

Try the following email formats:

  • <firstName>.<lastName>@<company\_email>
  • <firstName><lastName>@<company\_email>
  • <firstName>_<lastName>@<company\_email>
  • <firstName>@<company\_email>

<company\_email> is generally the company's website domain, e.g. Uber – uber.com
