Understanding Importance of Attitude

Ever wonder how to land an internship? Well, I used to ask same question like many of you. It all started with question: How determined are you 躺平... to get an internship? Do you really need one? This is most crucial question, because if you're not 100% committed, you might give up before end.

When I was in my second year of college, I desperately wanted to intern at an agency unit. But let me tell you, companies aren't schools or charity organizations. They don't waste resources on interns who just come to learn or do simple tasks that any employee can do. Capitalists never want to do a losing business. In ir eyes, anyone who enters company, wher a regular employee or an intern, must contribute to company's profitability. And those who can't create value...，当冤大头了。

Transforming Your Identity as an Intern

白嫖。 Interns must change ir identity and see mselves as "creators." As creators, interns need to think about how to create value for company and promote its development. This may sound broad, but let's break it down. It means that when doing any task, interns should no longer just think about how to gain something from it, but rar how y, as part of company, can contribute to overall success.

Understanding Role of an Intern

Once you get an internship, everything should go smoothly. It's 雪糕刺客。 clear that you will benefit greatly from internship experience.

Believe me, if you approach things with this mindset, you will gain a lot.，醉了...

When considering an internship, you must first think about what you really want. Getting experience through an opportun 对吧？ ity you couldn't have orwise is what you want, and this is most important—so you can find a high-paying job in future.

Challenges of Being an Intern

Interns can be a pain because you have to keep an eye on m, answer ir endless questions, and tell m what to do. In fact, hiring a free intern seems cost-effect 别纠结... ive, but it actually costs me more. Why? Because I have to spend my valuable time teaching m what to do, correcting ir mistakes, and wasting my time and money.

精辟。 Think about how many people apply for internships this way.

Think about how many bad companies try to get cheap labo 我持保留意见... r or even free labor by posting internship opportunities.

Creating Your Own Opportunities

This really depends on opportunity. If a billionaire is willing to hire me as an intern, I would openly declare that I would be happy to accept an internship without any compensation. I would even camp out on his lawn just to learn.

这东西... I suggest you do same.

Internship Opportunities and Mentorship

Some internships are just like real jobs. People expect you to be a member of software development team and work like any or member. This type of internship usually assigns an experienced developer as your mentor to guide and help you master tricks of trade.，踩个点。

Similarly, a company may choose a project y don't have resources to complete and use interns to complete it. This type of internship is a great opportunity to prove yourself, but drawback is that you may not receive much guidance or help. You may only be told what expected final result is, and n you have to complete it independently.

Focus on Soft Skills and Work Ethic

我怀疑... Don't try to show off your skills or experience, and don't try to impress interviewers with what you've learned. Focus on demonstrating above qualities and your basic work abilities. Don't try to convince m you have 10 years of programming experience.

Be Creative and Persistent

If you haven't gone to college and rely on self-study, or if you have participated in programming training camps 别纠结... but haven't found a job, n to get an internship, you need to be more creative. Of course, this isn't a bad thing.

If y object or say y don't have an internship project, I would say: "No problem. I can show you how to set one up." Then I would reiterate long-term value of internship project to company if y immediately start implementing it.，躺赢。

Be Professional and Confident

The good news is that if you have done all things I have told you, this step should be a piece of cake. In fact, in this case, a full-time job opportunity should be within reach, and you almost don't have to do anything special.，不是我唱反调...

Then, I would take this list and try to find out which companies I know people in, or who know people in se companies.，我无法认同...

Don't Focus on Pay

Overall, internship jobs are short-term, so total income is not too big. Internship jobs should not become place where you "cheat and make a big fool of yourself." Therefore, if you can get paid, of course, you should collect money, but don't let salary become most important factor in wher you want to do an internship or which internship job to do.，拯救一下。

Be a Leader and Save Time

Now what? I know you want m to be completely convinced and offer you a full-time job, but how do you show enough power to make m agree? Let's start with companies where intern 要我说... s and internship programs have suffered major setbacks. Why do so many companies think that even though y can get free labor, setting up an internship program is not worthwhile?

Focus on Creating Value

When considering internship opportunities, compensation is not important because if you associate internship work with compensation, it is too short-sighted. Believe me, in anor context, I would tell you how to become a negotiation expert to get best salary treatment. But when it comes to internship work, it's a completely different story.，内卷...

Be a Problem-Solver

Be a Hard Worker and Be Ready to Learn

There is also anor type of internship where you are basically just a "runaround" in office. These types of internships are not very valuable because you may not be able to join those projects where you are considered a new entry-level software developer and can use your skills. You will only be assigned to do some trivial tasks like making tea and coffee.

Be Prepared to Do Any Job

How to become an outstanding intern. Everyone has to go through an internship. It is first step into workplace. If this step is done well, it can even be as good as " people翻身当家作主." It can also tra 我们都经历过... in your ability to find a job in future, accumulate experience, and gain abilities. If this step is not done well, not only will it waste time and energy, but it will also let opportunity slip away.

Be Proactive and Resourceful

说真的... As an intern, how to change this cognition? It's simple. Just reverse equation. As an intern, your task is very simple: do your best to save your boss's time.

This means that you must be self-directed, find out what you should do yourself, and complete high-quality work with minimum supervision and feedback.，操作一波...

Build Relationships and Network

After doing se things, I would choose most promising companies and study m in-depth. I would learn abou 呵... t ir history, products y produce, who has worked for m, what jobs y have, and what those jobs are about.

I would look up profiles of people working at se companies on social media and try to contact some of m. I would explain to m, "I'm new to this industry, but I want to learn a lot."

Contribute to Team and Be a Team Player

Overall, you should clearly realize that you are here to make or people's work easier, not or way around. This "service-first" work attitude not only makes you perform well during your internship but also makes you go furr and become a leader, because this is quality that a true leader should have. The role of a leader is to make or people's work easier.

Be a Problem-Solver and Be Creative

If you can make a significant contribution to team as soon as you join, make or people's work easier, and produce high-quality work products without frequent guidance, n when your internship is over, your company will not hesitate to hire you.

Be Prepared to Take on Challenges

There are many reasons why companies recruit interns. Some companies want to showcase ir "charitable" image and provide internship positions as a象征性 position for positive public relations. Some companies want to inject new blood into company and recruit talent from university graduates, and use this opportunity to cultivate young talents so that y can serve company for a long time. There is no denying that some companies open internship opportunities just to seek cheap labor.

Be Proactive and Take Initiative

Be Professional and Be Respectful

中肯。 Before signing up as an intern, it's a good idea to understand what you will be doing. You can find out about specific details of internship by asking directly, contacting previous interns, etc.

Be Persistent and Never Give Up

我CPU干烧了。 But if you fail or if you haven't found an internship opportunity from beginning, don't worry. There is still hope.

Conclusion

Internship opportunities are not available to everyone, so if you have chance to win an internship opportunity, especially when you 复盘一下。 are just starting out, I strongly recommend that you seize this opportunity, even if salary is not very high, or even almost free.

太治愈了。 In early stages of your career, working for a low salary for a period of time may seem like a sacrifice, but in long run, it will definitely pay off.
