Help with the Job Board.

Each application made through the Job Board goes through a validation process. Once we have verified that your application meets the relevant employer’s requirements, it will be referred to their hiring department. 

You will be notified of your referral at this point and any further steps in the hiring process from here on are handled by the employer in question.

Employers will state in their job posting whether or not they are accepting applicants from outside their registered country.

For non-US jobs, it is best to verify whether they are accepting US applicants before sending through an application that may be rejected.

Indeed there are. If you wish to apply specifically for an internship, you can use the “All Jobs Tag” pull-down menu on the Job Board, scroll down, and select “Internships” to filter your search.

This same method can also be used for any other specifics you desire from your search.
