The impacts of COVID-19 are leading candidates everywhere to consider remote positions. At Skidmore, 200+ remote job and internship opportunities have already been posted on Handshake with remote opportunities continually added on a regular basis. A variety of resources for finding remote work has also been compiled to help students in their job and internship searches.

Job and Internship Listings
When looking at jobs and internships, remember that if it’s labeled PAL the opportunity comes from an alumni, parent or friend of Skidmore.
With the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, interning close to home can look more appealing than ever. Here are some ideas to help you find opportunities closer to where you are, wherever you are:
Consider several ways to create a professional opportunity: volunteering, part-time jobs, short-term internships, remote micro-internships, remote internships, part-time or freelance work, and shadowing.
Make a list of all the businesses/organizations of interest. Do they have any opportunities for a student to create something they need? Expand this list of potential employers by utilizing CareerShift (company search) or your local Chamber of Commerce Directory.
Consider all your hometown connections who may be able to assist you: family, friends, past teachers/coaches, past supervisors, high school alumni, and Skidmore Career Advisors in your area.
Congratulations!
