One of the most crucial and time-consuming stages that every soon-to-be graduating student undergoes is completing internships.
Looking for available internship program is already a tedious tasks in itself. You spend hours filling out application forms, completing long essays, listing your possible character references, and polishing your resume over and over again.
Now, after patiently waiting for that email to arrive or for that phone to finally ring, at last, you've received a notice of acceptance for that most sought-after internship. All of your hard work seems to have truly paid off. You've successfully managed to enter the doorways of one of the top institutions in your area of study. Now, what's next?
College internships are highly competitive these days. A lot of people have a hard time looking for internship programs; that's why if you happen to get one, congratulations! You are among the lucky ones.
And since you have worked hard to earn it, it goes without saying that you should make the most out of it.
This is simply because your internship can have a ripple effect on your quest to become one of the company's future employees, even though it may not be that obvious.
Internship is an opportunity to get a preview of what it is like working in your chosen career field, give you heads-up on how things are in real workplace, and meet the people who are currently involved in the field.
myLot users, can you give your thoughts on these subject for the benefit of other myLot users who are still studying..

hi ,my friend,
after read your materials i bet you must be a person the same as me must facing the most difficulty time ---finding job or to be a intership before soon-be graduated from colleage ,
yes you said right ,society facing the serious situation including the college intership facing the competitive these days ,esp now the whole world suffer the economic crisis,it adds some trouble to our hunting jobs,most of ablities have lost their jobs ,while our new fresh men should do what?
so the realities is cruel.it is a hard time looking for our suitable job.i have been thinking the matter on job that choose the jobs i really like or choose the job just for working but not my favoriate.
i often heard my teacher said ,the first jod is very vert important for your future,if you select right,and you will fine all the time ,if you failed the job and your road on future will be down.
and the process of the finding a jod also a mass thing,that really fussy,and every key connection you never missed,then,you can miss a good job.
so now,my feeling facing the finding job is 'let things go hang'and don't think more,if you have alreaf for your job and you must use enough knowledge as a militery amred yourselves,then the good forture and good luck will coming ,
and the last i want to say that whichever you choose job ,before you enter one company ,everyone must to learn how to cope with the human relationships first ,,,
that it is the really matter,,
