Undergraduate business career services
The strategy for your success
Rising startup founder. Master investments manager. Award-winning marketer. These distinctions definitely wow at a glance, but behind every major achievement is a job search strategy that involves speaking to the right people, growing your skills, and identifying who you are as a leader.
You’ll do all of that through Business Career Services, the University of Florida Warrington College of Business’ dedicated career development office. In conjunction with your degree’s career readiness requirement, you’ll create a custom plan that takes you from interest to internships and a full-time job offer.
About Business Career Services

How to find business internships
Turn to more senior students, plus Warrington’s dedicated Business Career Services office, to navigate this process. Also make sure to divide your time between your search and preparation: polishing your résumé and practicing your interview skills increases your chances of securing a prime assignment.
Seek guidance
Where can you browse internship postings? What’s the best way to reach out to recruiters and express your interest? Contact a Career And Peer (CAP) Mentor or Career Coach for tips to structure your search.
Create a HIREWarrington profile
Establish your profile on HIREWarrington for exclusive business student internships and full-time positions.
Know your options
Students will complete their internship over the Summer, Fall, or Spring semesters. You can also build an internship into your study abroad experience, which helps you develop the skills necessary to compete in today’s globalized marketplace.
Narrow your search
Research companies you would like to work for and how they select their interns. Go to an employer’s information session or on-campus office hours to meet with recruiters. Or get involved with business student organizations that host internship recruiters.
Prep for your interview
Interview on the spot with internship recruiters at Career Showcase, or practice with a CAP Mentor ahead of a one-on-one appointment.
Time your internship
Consider interning during the Fall or Spring semester. These placements are less competitive than Summer internships.
Enroll in an internship course
If you’re completing an internship for academic credit, you must enroll in the corresponding internship course during the same semester. This course is required to earn credit and fulfill your degree requirements.
Additional job search resources
The University of Florida and Warrington’s resources equip you to look local or extend your search across the globe.
Student Code of Ethics
