Practice is a training stage before students start to work, which is of great significance.

The Significance of Internship to College Students

First, deepen the understanding of occupation and industry, and confirm the occupation that you like or are good at.

There are many ways to understand the professional industry, such as reading related articles and consulting people in the industry, but the most direct way is to do the job in person. In the process of doing it, you can determine whether you like the job and whether you are competent. If you like it and have the ability, you can make it your target career when you look for a job after graduation. On the contrary, we need to find a new direction of work.

Second, prepare for the transition from students to professionals.

People often say that universities are ivory towers. Indeed, there are huge differences between schools and workplaces, between study and work, and between students and employees. In the process of role transformation, people's views, behaviors and psychology should be adjusted appropriately.

Recently, there was a widely circulated and influential article on the Internet, "Why am I determined not to use fresh graduates?". This paper lists some phenomena that are not uncommon among recent graduates: frequent job hopping and leaving without informing the original company; Calling at work, three fresh graduates increased the company's telephone bill by more than 7000 yuan a month; Zhang Kou's ambitious and unrealistic suggestion to the world's top 500 enterprises requires tens of millions of investments. ...

Therefore, don't always complain that the company is unwilling to recruit fresh graduates, and sometimes you have to find your own problems. Internship provides an opportunity for everyone to get in touch with the real workplace. With internship experience, you can integrate into the new environment faster and better when you graduate, and complete the transformation from students to professionals.

Third, enhance the competitive advantage when looking for a job.

A company once conducted a survey on how employers choose fresh graduates. The participating companies include foreign companies, state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, and the scale is also large and small. There is a topic for them to choose what they value, including school, major, grades, certificates, internship experience, social practice, household registration and so on. Results Companies of different natures and sizes have different emphases, and only one factor is important to all companies, that is, internship experience related to the position applied for. So if you have relevant internship experience in the university, it will be of great advantage to find a job.

And many companies will choose excellent interns to stay and become full-time employees of the company. This recruitment method is being adopted by more and more multinational companies and has become one of their strategies to tap "early talents". For example, 50% of IBM interns stayed at IBM last year, and they hope that this proportion will increase to 80% this year.

How to find internship opportunities?

First, do a good job planning before internship.

In my opinion, many students' internships are not very valuable, because they are far from the jobs they will apply for in the future. For example, if you want to do finance, your experience as a tutor is worthless; If you want to work as a waiter in R&D, McDonald's or KFC, it won't be your competitive advantage.

So, don't practice blindly, make a plan before practice. Make your own career goals when you know yourself, and then look for jobs related to your career goals. Only in this way can internship experience be turned into an advantage when looking for a job, otherwise it will be a waste of time and energy and useless work.

Second, seek internship opportunities through various channels.

At present, there are not many recruitment media that provide a lot of internship information, and many companies will not openly recruit interns, so we should look for internship opportunities in a multi-pronged manner:

Websites: including well-known domestic recruitment websites for college students and websites of target companies.

School Employment Guidance Center: At present, many college employment websites have special internship part-time sections, and the internship opportunities posted above are highly targeted.

Campus BBS: the update is fast and timely, but there may be some mixed phenomena, which college students need to distinguish carefully.

Introduction: This is a very important way, because many companies will not openly recruit internship opportunities. So you can convey the information that you are looking for an internship to teachers, parents, relatives and friends. Especially for students whose graduates flow to very concentrated majors, we should pay special attention to the contact with brothers and sisters. For example, the flow of graduates majoring in finance and construction is very concentrated. Contact brothers and sisters for timely information on recruitment and internship.

In addition to the above methods, you can try everything you can think of.
