Internships while you are in college are a great way to build your resume.  They can open multiple doors for a successful future.  Just like a job, what you get out of your internship depends on what you put into it.

At Strong College Students, our moving company in Lubbock offers internship programs that launch careers.  

Making the Most of Your College Internship

Doing the MOST

Don’t be afraid to do multiple internships while you are in college.  The more experience you have, the better it will look to employers.  

As much as an internship is there for building your resume, it’s also meant to guide you.  

It will help you figure out what you want to do when you graduate, and get a broader concept of the opportunities that may be available.

Be On Time

Be punctual consistently throughout your internship.  Punctuality is essential to making a good impression.  Being late implies a lack of dedication to the position.  

Whether you are enjoying the internship or not, give it the most you have and you’ll find yourself with a glowing reference when you graduate.

Take On Extra Tasks

Don’t be idle.  The first week, you’ll probably be at a loss for what to do and how things are run.  Once you start to catch on, take on additional projects that you see are necessary.  

You should complete the assigned projects first, but if you see work that needs to be done, take it on.  Just make sure you aren’t taking on something that is over your head.

Establish Relationships

Build relationships professionally.  Get to know your co-workers.  Socialize with other interns.  Communicate with your superiors and get to know them as well.  

Follow up on your connections, and stay in touch, even if it’s just a happy birthday or dropping a line now and then.  The relationships you have the opportunity to build during your internship can benefit you for the rest of your career.

Don’t Wait for Opportunity to Knock

Explore all paths of opportunity.  Try to keep an open mind and learn everything you can about the company.  Learn all of the positions available.  

Find out if they have a list of positions.  You may be surprised that some jobs exist, or what they entail.  Knowledge gives you the power of direction, and you could leave your internship with a goal you never knew was possible.
