How to submit Winter Term internship applications through ObieOpps:

These instructions should help you apply for Winter Term internships through ObieOpps. If you have questions or encounter difficulty when you try to apply for internships, please contact Career Services or stop by the office during our drop-in hours, Monday thru Friday from 3-5 PM. We will be happy to assist you.

1. Log-in to ObieOpps at the right side of this webpage.
2. Click on Winter Term under shortcuts or the jobs and internships tab.
3. Review the Winter Term internship postings, and decide on the positions for which you will apply.
4. All Winter Term internships require a resume. Scroll down to the bottom of the internship description, and carefully review the Additional Documents and Requested Document Notes to see what other documents should be submitted.
5. If Other Documents is listed under Additional Documents, check the document notes to see what document is requested (this will most often be a list of references, but occasionally sites will request a specific type of document).
6. Create all the necessary documents, and have them reviewed by a Career Services staff member or Peer Career Advisor (having your application materials reviewed before you apply is strongly recommended).
7. When you are ready to apply, log back into ObieOpps, and click on the Documents tab at the top of the page. Click Add New and upload your documents. There is no limit to how many documents you may add, so you can create targeted materials for each internship. Give each document a unique name so you'll be sure to send it to the correct position.
8. Go back into the position description for the internship you are seeking.
9. Under Application Status on the right side of the internship description, you should now see drop-down boxes. Use the drop-down boxes to select your application materials.
10. Double-check to be sure you've fulfilled all the application requirements, and make sure that you've done everything correctly.
