The job market is highly competitive at every level, especially at entry level. In order to get your foot in, you’ll have to do something that’ll make you stand out among others. What you need is an internship, which will offer you that special edge; here’s why.
- Employers want people with career-related work experience, so that they don’t have to waste time with entry-level office training. That’s one of the main reasons why an internship is crucial to landing the right job.
- You will pick up several highly-valuable transferrable skills. Exposure to a professional work atmosphere will help you absorb a notable work ethic and learn how your skills can be applied in the real world.
- You will find plenty of networking opportunities, which can help you connect with useful professionals in your chosen field. What’s more, you might be able to obtain references to attest to your abilities as well.
- Some employers use internships as a “try-before-you-buy” approach to hire people. Your internship could just be a gateway to a permanent job at the company where you intern.
- You can use your internship to test the waters and decide if a chosen career field is right for you. This helps you to check out various job roles and do your research as an intern and avoid making the wrong career moves.
- You can develop your resume with greater confidence, which will impress your potential employers. You will know how to communicate and convey your skills, and convince someone that you’re the right candidate.
- If you do a stellar job, you should be able to convince your supervisor or team manager to give you a great job recommendation. This sort of direct recommendation will help you land the perfect job soon.
- If you’re a graduate student planning to do advanced studies, you can use an internship to gain experience in a field without committing to it. This will help you determine the exact field in which you want to specialize.
- An internship teaches you to rely on yourself, your instincts, your judgment and your skills. You cannot turn to your parents or teachers for help at an internship. This teaches you to be self-reliant, and helps to fine-tune your instincts at the workplace.
- You will learn how to deal with your superiors and co-workers diplomatically. You will learn that professional communication is vastly different from the way college students communicate. This will make you more suited for employment.
- You will learn how to behave at a professional work place. For example, gossiping, volunteering too much information, getting too personal and sharing personal info are not appreciated at the work place.
- You will learn to dress appropriately for work and modify your deportment suitably. The carefree college wardrobe and relaxed body language will not be appropriate at a corporate environment. There are accepted ways of behavior that you’ll be expected to learn, and an internship is the best way to learn them.
- You will learn very essential time management skills. Getting to work on time and completing your tasks on time are very important at an internship, if you have any hope of impressing anyone.
- You will learn to multi-task, and juggle a whole bunch of responsibilities and tasks. The more efficient you are at this, the more success you’ll have at your internship and better job prospects.
- You will have the chance to update your skills set, and learn many new things that’ll add value to your resume. Take advantage of every bit of training that your employer offers you during your internship.
