Things to Consider Before Choosing an Internship
Internships are quite popular these days and many students are opting for the same on
regular basis. You have decided to get some practical experience along with your academic
degree. Well, there are many internship jobs that you can consider. However, it is very
important that you consider the following factors to ensure that you have the perfect
internship.
When to take up an internship?
Firstly, it is important that you decide when you want to start with internship.
Majorly, internships are either for a semester or over the summer. Summer
internships are preferable as they keep you busy and you can be much more focused
and wouldn’t have to juggle between college and work.
Is it affordable?
Internships are generally unpaid. You gain experience, but no salary. You need to be
sure if you can take this opportunity. Unpaid work is an added expense. You will
need to pay for the travelling and other daily expenses, without any reimbursement.
So, make sure that you are financially capable of taking up such jobs.
Is it beneficial?
Well, you should definitely be benefitting from any internship that you are
considering. You are taking this job to learn and know the practical work processes.
It is thus important to know what you will be learning in this job which will help you
in the future.
Is it related to what you are studying?
It is advantageous to take up an internship that is related to what you are studying.
Assisting a public accountant while you are doing a certified public accountant
course is definitely profitable than doing an internship in HR.
What do the previous interns say?
Well, nobody but people who have had the experience of being in this field, people
who have taken the same job will be able to guide you the best with how the entire
experience is. You should definitely ask these people about their experiences,
whether the entire process was beneficial and would they recommend it.
What job responsibilities you will handle?
This is the most important question you should be asking your interviewer. It is
essential that you know what will you be doing and what kind of work you will be
handling. This is important as you would want to know if you would like to take up a
job like this in the future.
Internships are highly beneficial but you need to be careful with what you choose in order
to make sure you have the right experience that you require.
While selecting the right internship for yourself, it is essential that you consider things like
when to take the job, if it is affordable, how does it help you in the future and whether the
job responsibilities are what you’d like to consider.
