There's still time to find an internship for this summer, so keep working hard to make that happen.  Get your resume into Career Net if it's not already there, and actively send resumes to employers.  However, if you don't end up with an internship in the end, don't waste the summer sitting around the house.  Do the following activities to build your resume and get a head start on your professional development:

 

Volunteer

Job shadow

Set up informational interviews

Find networking events

Attend alumni events

Revamp your resume

Create a business card

Research cities of interest

Revamp social media profiles

Start a blog

Freelancing
