How can I get a summer job in computer science?

The qualifications that you need to get a summer computer science job depend on the responsibilities of the position for which you are applying. Summer school instructors who teach computer skills need a degree and a teaching license, though private computer camps and programs may hire college students or recent graduates without a license. To get an internship in programming, IT, or computer engineering, you typically must be a student currently in a degree program at a community college, technical school, or university. If you participate in a research project, you need credentials or experience in the subject of the project.
