Thanksgiving Break is Prime Time for Internship and Job Browsing

November 25, 2024

Thanksgiving is a time for family, food and celebration. For college students, it’s also prime time for securing summer employment. The break in classes allows for some extra hours to browse job listings and figure out exactly where they want to be in May 2025.

Offer letters are coming in hot – don’t miss out on securing an intern or full-time new hire from one of our 40+ MCAA student chapters.
