实习对你个人有什么好处 and Professionally

As a busy college student, I once questioned how I would find a meaningful internship opportunity, and most importantly, how it would benefit me. Many students, like myself, are required to complete an internship in their field of study before graduation, but most don’t realize just how important internships can be.

在我的大学生活中, I’ve found that internships are a great opportunity to learn more about your personal career goals and interests, while also developing the knowledge and skills that you’ll need to be successful.

Here are a few of the ways that internship experiences can benefit you both now and in the future:

1. 在你选择的职业领域积累经验: 实习是获得实践经验的好方法, professional experience that will be valuable during your job search. I look forward to showing future employers my resume, which highlights the skills that I developed as a result of my internships in business and marketing. My internship experience, coupled with my academic pursuits, will add a competitive edge to my resume and make me more hireable.
2. 在学习的环境中工作; Working as an intern usually means that you don’t have years of experience behind you… and that’s ok. A major part of having an internship is learning more about the field, 以及你个人的优点和缺点. At each of my internships, I’ve had the opportunity to apply the knowledge that I learned in the classroom to real-life business situations, as well as develop new skills 这将使我在事业上取得成功. 作为一名实习生，你不需要做到完美. 我很幸运有支持我的同事, who have helped prepare me to be successful in a permanent role.
3. 在校期间挣钱: 并不是所有的公司都给实习生发工资, but having a paid internship allows me to earn a paycheck while also having a flexible schedule that works around 我作为一个全日制学生的生活. I found my internship through Federal Work Study, which adds to my financial aid 打包并提供周薪. 在我生命的这个时候，这是一个很好的选择, as I am able to have flexibility while preparing for a full-time job in my chosen career field.
4. Learn what works for you: Not only have my internship experiences opened the doors for possible future employment, they’ve also helped me determine if I am a good fit for certain positions and if a company would be a good fit for me. Working as an intern has allowed me to understand more about myself and where I would like to work, as well as the type of work that I would enjoy doing in my future career.

通过在大学期间实习, I am adding to my professional network and learning more about 哪些职业道路适合我. 除了在我的领域获得宝贵的经验, I am also working in an environment where mistakes are expected and where I have extra support.

Taking advantage of internship opportunities during your college years is a great way to get a head start on your job search and prepare for a successful career in your field. To learn more about internship positions available both on and off campus, 咨询你的学术顾问.
