Turn your Internship into a Career


How many copies did you make today? Schedule any meetings? Greet customers or answer the phone for your supervisor? Being an intern could be one of the lowest feelings of your life. You might feel like everyone hates you, but trust me, they are just lazy and don't want to make copies or fill up the printer with paper, when they know YOU will do it.

Granted, you might hate your internship, but you might envy your supervisor or colleagues, and really want that job after you graduate college. So what do you do?

Not every intern is offered a full-time job with their company, that’s a known fact. How can you make yourself stand out from the crowd? There are some great ways to help turn your internship into a job. Before you know it, you’ll be one of them - with your name on an I.D. card to swipe at the door.
  • Dress appropriately
  • Learn as much as you can
  • Get to know EVERYONE
  • Under promise and OVER deliver
  • Learn about your industry
