Overarching Relevance of Internship

……… how to nail it right

If there is one thing you learned on the first day of

your freshman year, it was the importance of having

resources and the value in knowing how to use them.

Indeed, knowing where to turn when you need

something is just as important as having what you

need in the first place. If resourcefulness is a

measure of value, then knowing where to turn might

even be more useful than possessing the knowledge

first hand. And college internships are great for this

and also remember the old adage, “It’s not what you

know, but who you know.

College Internships: The Ultimate Social Network Advantage

The importance of internships to college students in terms of networking and gaining new resources cannot be understated. In addition to gaining great experience to complete your classroom learning, college internships allow you to beef up your portfolio or resume and make valuable industry contacts that can be essential to landing the ideal job upon graduation

Building a network of “who you knows” through college student internships can pay great dividends upon graduation. By remembering the social aspect of making contacts with people as people while working at college internships, you can help to ensure that, if good contacts are with other organizations by the time you graduate, you will then have an “in” at those other organizations in addition to the organizations where you performed actual college internships.

So get in there and mingle. Make it a point to meet as many people as possible. Learning about

someone as a person can be as valuable as learning about what his or her job entails. Social gatherings

with co-workers after hours or on weekends are great ways to network and build meaningful bonds

that make the most of college internships. Remember the value of college internships often lies in the

people with whom you will work with.
