CCT Resources

• CCT Job and Internship Database
  Log into the database using your GU NetID and NetID password. If it's your first time using the database, you'll need to be approved by a CCT staff person, then you can access the database.  You can also set your profile so that you're emailed when jobs that match your interests are posted to the database.  If you set up this function and rely only on that, select as many job areas as possible, so you don't miss any job postings that might interest you.
• Join our Jobs and Internships mailing list
  Delete any signatures you have in your email message before sending. Example of text:
  subscribe cctjobs-l jack@georgetown.edu Jack Hoya
• Enter your job and internship information 
  Please update your job and internship information each semester with the CCT staff by submitting this form. We use this information to help students find internships and jobs.
• CCT Career Workshops and Events
  We offer our own but also partner with other Georgetown programs to bring you career fairs, career skills workshops, and personal career planning sessions.  We highly encourage CCT students to attend these early in their CCT studies.  Many of these events feature CCT alumni. Of particular interest, look at 
  
  *Personal Career Planning with Rosie O'Neil

  *Your 60-second Pitch
