Turn an Internship into Job...Rout to Permanent Job

Internship is a good way to assess one’s ability and get the proverbial foot in the door.  Most internships are only temporary and end after a few months.  It is always better to make the internship work in your favour and land up with a permanent job by employing a few techniques.

Internships are designed to prepare applicants for future careers, so identify your professional goals and try to find an internship that meets your expectations rather than accepting just any internship that is available.  This will assist you in your future job search. 

Keep your supervisor abreast of your work and accomplishments by checking in frequently and making sure you are meeting his or her expectations.  Developing professional connections as an intern will give you a head start in professional networking. 

Employers want employees who show initiative, learn, develop and who ask for more responsibilities. 

Employers will trust you to complete more difficult tasks once they recognize your ability to handle the small stuff. 

Employers seek people who can think out of the box and identify solutions to current problems that management may not have yet addressed.  Offer solutions that you think may resolve a specific problem. 

Employers seek individuals who are good at teamwork and contribute positively to the overall accomplishment of the group. 
Show your keenness to join the organization and feel proud to be part of the group.
