Looking forward to summer in the Northland? Are you hoping to land a summer internship or seasonal position, this year? Start looking now!
The next couple of months are your window of opportunity to connect with employers that coordinate summer internship programs. Many organizations will also fill temporary and part-time positions in this timeframe.
Where do you want to be three months from now?
The right internship could be the way to get there. Among other upsides, good internships offer:
- More Flexibility. Internships are often shaped around the intern’s schedule — not the company’s.
- Less Pressure. An internship doesn’t require as much commitment from either the intern or the organization. With no contracts and no signing on the dotted line, it’s a low-stress way to test the waters and see if the company is a good fit for you.
And they’re not just for students!
Internships have become a pathway to lasting employment for recent graduates, career-changers, and more individuals at varying points in their careers.
Although it generally pays less than a traditional entry-level position, an internship gets your foot in the door and allows you to learn the ropes. Often, by the time your internship concludes, you’ve become indispensable to the company. That’s when a job offer will be on the table.
In this tight job market, an internship can be the best way to fast-track your way to the dream job you ultimately want.
