Seeking an international full-time or internship opportunity?
When pursuing any job/intern/volunteer opportunity, it is the student's responsibility to perform due diligence in researching employers when applying for or accepting private, off-campus employment and to thoroughly research the facts and reputation of each organization to which they are applying. Students should be prudent and use common sense and caution when applying for or accepting any position. If you have questions and/or concerns about a posting or pursuing an opportunity, please contact your career coach or gwcareercenter@gwu.edu.
