Hi everyone!

It's nice to finally find a forum where everyone appreciates chemistry. I'm currently in my 3rd year on my BSc in Chemistry. Summer is coming up (in 4 months) and I'm interested in finding an internship or a chem related job for the summer. I'm not quite sure where to start. I have an analytic and organic background. The oil and gas industry are huge in my city. My University does have a intership program but it's restricted to honors students. I want to try to find a job on my own. How would I start? Where do I start looking? What kind of job can I expect? I'm completely lost when I comes to careers in Chemistry. Thanks in advance for all your *delete me*

[Edit] I just wanted to add that my grades aren't the best (I'm about average, maybe a little below average) and currently, I have no plan to get my PhD, but I'll rethink it after this year.

I have in fact gotten two internships from there in my undergrad career, and I am starting another for this summer, too.
The one this summer is local (in state) and will not be that fun or challenging, but the other two where great, and on total opposite ends of the country!

Why not just directly write in the HR of major chemical companies such as Sigma Aldrich or GSK?

Speculative application does not hurt
