Submitting Applications

Once you have perfected your Career Toolkit and done your research to identify roles / companies of interest, it is time to start applying! There’s no magic number of opportunities to apply to. Only apply to opportunities that you would have a legitimate interest in. Continue submitting applications until you have accepted an offer.

PLEASE NOTE: While applying to positions is key step in the internship / job search process, applying alone will likely not lead to success. The internship / job market is competitive…and think about how many people can view and apply to a position when it is posted publicly! Making connections at companies of interest greatly increases your chances of landing an interview. See pages 45-53 for tips on effective follow-up.
