Presenting: The TIP Book

Hot off the presses (actually, it's online), the TIP book is a collection of internship descriptions and advice provided by Tufts students for Tufts students. We in the Tufts Career Center are excited to provide Tufts students with 200 internship profiles packed with helpful advice from your classmates.

To browse the profiles, or search by career field, type of internship, location, student class year and major, check out the book at http://careers.tufts.edu/students/tip.asp

As you review the internship profiles, keep the following in mind:

  • A successful internship search involves thorough research and information gathered from multiple sources. Thus, we encourage you to use these profiles as a complement to your other research. 
  • The Internship Section of the Career Center website provides search tips and internship listing sites, including our databases - Jumbo Jobs, LACN and EngIn - where you’ll find thousands of internships for Tufts students. You’ll also find information about internship funding resources and much more. 
  • Students who have listed their names on their profiles may be contacted for more information. Remember to thank them for sharing their time and advice with you! 
  • A career counselor can help you clarify your goals and direct you to other helpful internship search resources. Come to daily drop-in hours or call 617.627.3299 for an appointment. 
  • Our weekly Career eNews features career events that will help you learn about careers, find internships, and connect with alumni and employers.
  • Mark your calendar for our spring fairs: Sci-Tech Fair, Wednesday, February 13, 2013 (for science, technology, and engineering) Internship Fair, Wednesday, February 27, 2013 (for media, marketing, communications, education, non-profits, arts, finance, business, healthcare, and government) 

Thank You to all Tufts students who contributed to this publication!  Want to be included in next year's edition?  Look out for an e-mail this summer asking for submissions!
