Thousands of college students are finishing internships this month before heading back to their campuses. If you were one of those students lucky enough to land a selective internship at a top company, these last few days on the job are critical. You'll likely want your internship to lead to a full-time job or for your manager to serve as a reference for future employment. 回归校园之前,数以万计的大学生们这个月都将完成他们的实习。如果你是名企里面的其中一位实习幸运儿,最后的这些天也至关重要。也许你会想从实习变成全职,又或者想真正成为你老板的雇员。 I had three internships while I was an undergraduate, from Capitol Hill to Wall Street. I just graduated from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and over the two-year MBA program I completed two internships at tech start-ups. I'm lucky enough to be working full-time at one of the companies where I interned. Much of the ability to convert the internship into a full-time position came from leaving a good impression at the end of the summer. 毕业前我总共有三份实习,从国会大厦到华尔街,那时候我刚从斯坦福商学院毕业,在两年的MBA项目中,我完成了技术入门的两个实习。最终成功的在一个实习公司转成正式员工。很多时候从实习生转成正式员工的关键在于在暑期末给别人留下好印象。 1. Give a final presentation. As a summer employee, you're likely only working on a small team within the whole company. But there are many other permanent employees who see you in the office everyday. Most of them don't know what you've been working on. Find some time to give an office-wide presentation of the work you've been doing this summer. If there are other interns in the office, invite the other interns to join you. Reserve a room, send a calendar invite to the whole office, and ask your boss if there is budget to provide lunch or dessert. When I gave an end-of-summer presentation, I was pleasantly surprised by the attendance, the curiosity of my colleagues, and their willingness to celebrate my accomplishments. |
