GET IT IN WRITING

When you finish an internship, volunteer project, or job in which you have done well, ask for a letter of recommendation before you leave. Even if your supervisor or professor likes and remembers you, he or she may have trouble remembering the details of your work after even six months. These letters can be important as recommendations for both jobs and graduate school.

Internships are a great way to check out a job or field that you’re very interested in, and they look good on your resume. The quality of internships varies wildly. Some students report being active members of a team; others say that they just warmed a chair. Find students who have already done the internships that interest you. Avoid internships that are a waste of time. Make sure you do your part; show up on time, professionally dressed and open to new assignments. If your experience is a good one, after you graduate you may be offered a full-time position at the business where you interned, or people you worked with may offer to write professional references for you or provide contacts with potential employers.

Check with the career center at your college for information on internships. (Also see the resources section.) If you’re unable to find an internship that fits your particular needs, try contacting a company that you’re interested in working for to see whether you can set up an internship.
