Look for 'micro-internships' or project-based work on platforms like Parker Dewey or Forage (virtual work experiences). These are often shorter-term and designed for students.

Freelance platforms like Upwork or Fiverr can be good for finding small gigs in areas like writing, graphic design, social media, or virtual assistance. Build a portfolio of your class projects or personal work.

Network with alumni from your college who are working in fields you're interested in. LinkedIn is great for this. They might know of entry-level remote opportunities or internships at their companies.

Many companies specifically recruit for remote interns. Search on LinkedIn, Indeed, and specialized remote job boards (like We Work Remotely, Remotive) using keywords like 'intern', 'entry-level', 'part-time remote'. Be specific about your availability.

Tailor your resume to highlight relevant coursework, projects, and any skills applicable to remote work (e.g., self-discipline, time management, familiarity with collaboration tools).

Be wary of scams! If a remote job sounds too good to be true (e.g., high pay for very little work, requests for upfront payment), it probably is. Research any company thoroughly before applying or giving personal info.
