TL;DR I have no clue where to search for a summer job/internship. I am a first year student living in Vancouver taking Software Development at BCIT.

With summer coming around the corner I am still completely lost on how to find internships/summer jobs related to my degree (Software Engineering at BCIT. First year).

I have signed up for a career fair, a job seminar, and I did apply to one business (even though they made it very clear that they wanted 2nd year and on wards), but I am having trouble finding a place to do internships overall.

Vancouverites (or people in general), where does a student go to try and find a job for the summer? Is there some bundle of information out there that I don't know about?

Additional Information:

• I live in Vancouver but my parents live on Vancouver Island, so really I could work in either location for work.

• I am a 82% average student.

• I have past experience outside of school with the languages Java and Lua. I have experience using the API/Engines Corona SDK, UDK and GM Studio.

• From school I have gained further knowledge in Java, C, JavaScript, PHP, HTML and SQL. However, if I am to be completely honest, the only one I think I know enough about to make a contribution with at this point would be in Java.
