Some of the best websites to look for job are -
-Internships.com
-https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/
-https://www.glassdoor.com/index.htm
-https://www.idealist.org/en
-https://www.simplyhired.com/
-https://www.usajobs.gov/help/working-in-government/unique-hiring-paths/students/
Other than the sites above, most companies now have their own career page where internships and jobs can be found and applied directly within their portal.

Linkedin is always a good place to start. Chegg's internships.com is also a good source to find entry-level internships.

I pulled a list of sites my company's recruiters keep. Some of these will be very tech-focused, but they are sites we either keep or that require the hiring company to pay to post a job (so are likely to have "real" jobs for you).

Here are some red flags to watch out for if you get a job offer or interview request. When in doubt, Google the company's name and go to its main web site, then contact the company through its "careers" or "employment" section.
~ The offer is for a job that you have not applied to
~ If a real recruiter from a company reaches out to you, they will still require you to apply to a job on their company site; smaller companies may ask you to apply by email, but you will still be able to find them by a web search (like Google)
~ The offer is for a job that you have not had an interview for
~ You only speak to one person in the interview process, or two very similar-sounding people
~ The offer does NOT come directly from an @COMPANY_YOU_ARE_APPLYING_TO.com email address
~ The offer comes in the form of a call or a voicemail without being followed by an email that includes a written offer
~ The offer requires you to pay for a background check
~ The offer asks you to purchase your own office equipment or offers to send you a check (or transfer cash) to you to buy your equipment
~ The offer asks you for any payment or asks for your credit card

Hi Kabba,
Most companies now have direct access to internship opportunities via their company websites. And you can also typically find an email address to their College/University Internship opportunities where you can request more information. Also internships are becoming more and more prevalent with many of the US Government Agencies as well, is that's also a route you may want to go?
Thanks,
Mike

WayUp is a really good site. However, if you have a specific company/companies that you are most interested in I would go through their direct site to see what they offer.

Hi Kabba,
You can try your town's community college. I know San Bernadino Valley College has a college and career center with different jobs and internships looking to hire students. You would have to be a student at the community college, I would just double-check if there's a cost to apply to the school to have access to the college and career center.
