Business Internships
Why are Internships Important?
You may have the best grades. A long list of student activities. And amazing references from professors. But when you start looking for a job, you find that you are sending out tons of resumes, and getting no return calls. What is the problem? You are missing a key component in making you an attractive candidate - an internship.
According to a recent survey done by Internships.com and reported in Forbes Magazine, "69% of companies with 100 or more employees offered full-time jobs to their interns in 2012" and even better news, "Fifty-three percent of the surveyed employers said they expect to hire more interns in 2013 than they did in 2012." Companies often treat internships as extended interviews. Even if you are not ultimately hired, the "real world" experience is invaluable, adding to your resume.
So what are you waiting for? Attend an on-site recruitment event, work with the College of Business Director of Student Success and Engagement, your Department office and engage with your advisor to work on obtaining a business internship. The Monte Ahuja College of Business often lists and send internship, co-op and job opportunities directly to current students via email. If you are a current student, check your Vikes email early and often.
Visit the Monte Ahuja College of Business Internship, Co-op and Career Section here for more information.
