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
