I really liked the people I work with, and I think that is the key. Try to find a mentor or a boss who is not much older than you (in their 20s), as these people can relate a lot better, and will often times be more straightforward and easy to approach. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/international-internship-for-recent-college-graduate#post-1578 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 07:56:00 +0000 Anonymous 1578@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Hi Everyone!

Wondering if anyone are in a job that requires them to travel very frequently.</p> <p>How do you deal with jet lag? Been months on this job and still I stuggle. Mess up my system and it is just too much for me sometimes. </p> <p>Another question: how do you maintain a decent social life with the kind of hectic travel schedule. I realize I pretty much lost touch with the people in my life and the only way to connect with people (other than the folks you work with) is on Facebook and other forums/ web portals. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/undergraduate-internship-experiences#post-1340 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:00:02 +0000 Anonymous 1340@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>I interned at a variety of places, from a tiny t-shirt company in NYC to the annual Prague Writer's Festival. I think all were beneficial to me; I got college credit for them, and they still (several years after I graduated from college) are listed on my resume and are often discussed in interviews at some length.</p> <p>It depends of course what you are looking for: do you want a job to result directly (as in, you get promoted to a paid position) from the internship? Real life experience? Network contacts for the future? Etc. For me, all of those things and more were enormous benefits in my later life, especially as a writer/editor (right now, for example, I'm at a cool company called [url=http://www.myigrad.com]iGrad[/url] that actually helps answer career and finance questions for college students just like this one - go figure! - and in my interview, I focused on how useful my internships at startups were to me).</p> <p>I interned three times during college; one turned into a full-time job. All were useful, both for skill-building and helpful contacts - plus, an internship can provide mentorship opportunities not available at all universities.</p> <p>On the flip side, I believe people should be paid for good work, even if they are in college. Not everyone can afford to work for free, and I hope more employers acknowledge this and either offer a stipend or hourly wages to interns after a probationary period.</p> <p>What's your view on the fairness of unpaid internships? To me, that's the biggest issue with them - not their usefulness, which I don't dispute. Thoughts? </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/industrial-training-in-net-rs2000-only#post-1330 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 00:16:12 +0000 Anonymous 1330@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Vision Technology Service- leading Software Developer, Website Designer, Advertisement Concepts of W.B. now enters into Education Sector.

It's really a great opportunity for every student to adopt what they learn in school into the real world. I can see myself that it's really bright when I've got internship. What I have learned in class is seem practical then because we can use what is from internship to reflect what we are learning. For example, I study finance and banking, and my internship is at the bank. I can see some of my friend did not understand what the lecturer or professor said in class. However, I can get the picture of what they are talking. One more, I can use what I learned in class to facilitate what I am doing in my job.</p> <p>Sokhom <a href="http://sokhom168.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://sokhom168.blogspot.com</a> </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/undergraduate-internship-experiences#post-1188 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:24:06 +0000 Anonymous 1188@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Internships are an iffy proposition. Many times they are not worth much,<br /> except to you. That is, the experience lets you see whether you are really<br /> cut out for the type of job you are studying for. Internships are not really<br /> worth much for grad school either. High scores on grad tests are top.</p> <p>Students think an internship looks good on a resume, but other experiences<br /> are much worthwhile if they show a diverse educational learning experience.<br /> Many employers are looking for students who can show they can handle pressure<br /> and do well under adverse conditions. Not fluffy internships.</p> <p>If you are still bent on doing an internship, do it for a company that has a<br /> record of making job offers to at least some interns.</p> <p>Chrissy C.</p> <p><a href="http://needycollegestudents.com" rel="nofollow">http://needycollegestudents.com</a> </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/booksfoodrent#post-1141 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:19:01 +0000 Anonymous 1141@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Earn cash for BooksFoodRent<br /> PAY TUITION &amp; FEES - BUY THE BOOKS YOU NEED - EAT WHAT YOU WANT - LIVE WHERE YOU WANT and best of all LIVE THE LIFE YOU WANT!

I heard that your junior year internship is actually the most important one because, ideally, the place your intern at will offer you a job for the coming summer after you graduate.</p> <p>I found most of my internships by browsing online and without doing on campus recruiting. There are ton of opportunities and programs available. I&#39;d suggest picking about 10 companies that are in the field you&#39;re interested in and searching their websites&#39; Careers sections. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/undergraduate-internship-experiences#post-56 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 12:12:44 +0000 Anonymous 56@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>Haven&#39;t done any internships just yet, but I&#39;d really like to. Sometimes recruits from Boeing and Lockheed Martin will stop by to tell engineering students about doing internships with them but since I&#39;m pursuing civil/environmental engineering, I&#39;d rather look towards a company that deals more with construction than defense. </p> <p>I&#39;m told that it&#39;s a good idea to do internships starting in your sophomore/junior years. Is this true? If so then I need to get on the ball. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/internships-2009#post-44 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 10:03:36 +0000 Anonymous 44@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>The job market has been pretty terrible, so I was wondering getting an internship was just as challenging this year.

I mean, anything to differentiate you from other candidates and show that you have real life experience is going to help get that job.</p> <p>Personally, I try to work with larger companies because their carries clout and start-ups would be more willing to hire someone who has experience with established firms. </p> http://forum.collegetimes.us/topic/undergraduate-internship-experiences#post-15 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 03:41:18 +0000 Anonymous 15@http://forum.collegetimes.us/ <p>What sorts of internships have you gotten while still an undergrad that were BENEFICIAL later on?</p> <p>Top internship companies of 2008 included Microsoft, Starbucks, Southwest Airlines, etc.</p> <p>Pretty much the top rated corporations for business practices nationwide.
