Students who want to locate a meaningful summer opportunity will benefit from working with FACS staff to assess their interests and skills. In addition, staff will assist with specific aspects of the work search including resume preparation, practice interviewing and job search strategies. FACS posts summer positions and maintains active files on summer opportunities throughout the nation and the world. Summer positions span a great variety of fields and geographic regions. Positions that provide stipends or salary are always sought.
Many positions pay very well.
However, a few fields in which students are interested may, by their very nature, be limited in remuneration. Examples include museums, social service agencies, lobbying organizations, government offices, and mental health centers, in which budgets often preclude the possibility for paid positions. Starting early is critical in completing a successful search for meaningful summer employment.
