Popular Job and Internship Search Tools
The websites listed below are popular job and internship search platforms that may be helpful as you explore opportunities beyond Bowie State University resources. While these sites can be valuable tools, students and alumni are encouraged to use caution when applying for any positions and interacting with potential employers. Be mindful when sharing personal or sensitive information (such as your Social Security number or copies of official documents), and research employers thoroughly before applying or accepting an offer. If an opportunity seems suspicious, requests payment, asks for banking information, or asks for sensitive information early in the process, proceed with caution.
