iNet
Are you looking for an internship? Georgetown is part of the iNet Internship Network, which shares opportunities from all over the country with students of eight leading universities (including Georgetown, MIT, NYU, Northwestern, Rice, and Stanford). The network is a supplement to Hoya Career Connection and offers a wide range of industries and locations.
On-Campus Interviewing
Many employers come to campus every year for in-person interviews with students. To participate in any of these on-campus interviews, you must first attend an on-campus interviewing workshop. If you do not attend an on-campus interviewing workshop, you will not be able to apply for jobs or internships involving an on-campus interview. We strongly recommend that all juniors and seniors attend if you have not already done so. Check the workshop schedule on our event calendar.
