I am currently a first year undergraduate student and need a summer job when schools ends in April. I would really like to work at some kind of office or do something research related if I can. I'm looking for some kind of experience that would set me apart for the crowd when I try to apply for Grad. School. Where would I look for these kinds of jobs and how would I find them? What kind of summer jobs or internships should I look for? and again, where?
