How To Apply

Step 1: Perfect your résumé

Make sure to list all of your relevant experience—including classes and projects at school and any extracurricular activities of note. Review and make any updates to your contact information so that recruiters know how to reach you. Finally, be sure to reread everything and fix any errors, or ideally, have someone proofread for you.

Provide information about your skills and aspirations, and then let our automated system match you with positions that fit. You can also search for positions based on job type, office location, or other variables.

Step 3: Submit your résumé

Step 4: (optional) Attend an event

The eBay University Recruiting team visits a number of college campuses. Check the calendar to see when we’ll be in your area. You can also connect with eBay campus reps or students at your school who have been interns at eBay and can give you the inside scoop.

Even if we don’t visit your school, we still want to hear from you. Submit your résumé online and take the time to fill out your profile. Be thorough and accurate—the more detail you provide, the better your chances of finding a role that matches your interests.
