Being Strategic about Moving Forward After an Internship

written by Willie.

Internships are no doubt meant for your resume.  Why else would you take a job that takes up so many hours of your college summer, but doesn’t pay you enough for Thirst Thursdays during the school year?   But the pay is a different subject.

Internships are a win for both parties.  Like I said, you are boosting your resume with some meat, and the company you work for gets an extra set of hands on projects that they may have wanted to do but just didn’t have the (wo)man power.

But if you are smart…

you’ll realize that you can get a lot, A LOT more out of an internship than just good experience.  You can gain friends, professional contacts and people who will advocate for you in the future.

We, Millennial Chat, had the opportunity to team up with Vocus Careers – a great tech company that produces cloud-based PR and Marketing software.  Numerous awards, great atmosphere, and they are WELL KNOWN for their internship program.

And as part of the partnership, we helped produce a video just for YOU or maybe someone you know who is going to be an intern at some point in their life.

And we’ll give you a bonus track as well, but you have to click here —-> HERE!

JOIN US ON TUESDAY!
3:30pm – 4:30pm EST at #millennialchat!

Here are the questions in advance so you can gear up for the discussion:

1) What are some things that a company can provide to ensure success for the intern after their time is done?
2) What can you do DURING your internship to ensure you are in a good position when it is over?
3) What is the correct way to present the possibility of staying on full time with the company you interned for?
4) If you were an intern supervisor, how would you want to keep in touch and assist your interns in the future?
