Tips for Finding a Job & Internship

• Gain experience in these fields during your time on campus. Volunteer, get a part-time job or take on additional leadership roles within your student organization. The ability to show you have been involved in these fields as you pursue internships and full-time employment will be of extreme value. For Hospitality, consider event management opportunities with the Riggs Alumni Center, Dining Services, Conference and Visitor Services or the Stamp Student Union. Related to Sports and Recreation, consider opportunities within RecWell and the Department of Athletics.
• Job Search sites for careers in Hospitality include HCareers, Cruise Industry Jobs, Travel, tourism and hospitality jobs
• Gaining certifications can be an effective way to increase your knowledge and demonstrate your commitment to these career paths. For Sports and Recreation, you might consider CPR/AED Certification, Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) or Certified Athletic Trainer or Certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist (ACSM-CEP).
