Everyone who started internship from sophomore year said that internship is of great significance and great!
Simply put, the internship in the student era is a process that makes people more and more reliable. After all, society is realistic. If you start from your first job, the space for your growth and choice will be very cramped. Most people will be more tolerant of interns than regular employees, so the cost of making mistakes during internship is much lower than that of regular jobs. Once you start working, you will pay for any mistakes you make. The above is a general statement. Let's talk about the suggestions for university internship from the following items:
1) schoolwork and work: my personal experience proves that the statement that internship affects my studies is not true. Of course, it turned out that there was no time to study after work. Summer vacation and winter vacation are the best internship schedules. Here is a very important internship skill: try to find a concentrated time for full-time internship! This is very beneficial to entering the working state as soon as possible, and the intermittent practice of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days is of little significance. On the one hand, interns are easily distracted, on the other hand, colleagues are unwilling to entrust a person who can't keep track of his whereabouts with an important task. Practice after school at ordinary times can be used as a supplement to concentrated practice during holidays. Because I have always hated the idle life, I am willing to enrich it all the time. Even so, I still won many final exams and was finally sent to graduate school. Therefore, it is not true that internship affects learning. Furthermore, even if you don't go to work, you should ask college students if you spend all your time studying, and how much time you spend lying in bed, playing games, watching American TV shows and visiting Taobao. On the other hand, is there no time to study after work? No, no matter how busy you are, there is still a lot of time to use. Just the time spent on the bus every day can guarantee to finish reading a book in a week.
2) The choice of internship: major! Professional! Still professional! Don't go through leaflets or promotions unless the economy is particularly difficult. Efforts and progress are not driven by hard life in the hot sun, cold winter and wind and rain. The choice of internship must be close to the major, the closer the better, which can promote the two-way optimization of theory and practice. For example, if you majored in TV application, you must have eaten all the books and couldn't make a movie. Therefore, my internship units are film and television advertising companies (writing scripts and sub-shots), newspapers (writing manuscripts), TV stations (cutting films) and provincial science and technology departments (independent film crews) in turn, and gradually master the whole production process of TV programs.
3) Mentality: Intern status, formal employee mentality is a must. Don't relax when you feel like an intern. You must ask yourself to be a regular employee. A new internship unit is likely to be in a state of "doing nothing". Colleagues won't dare to give you a job if they don't know you. At this time, you should take the initiative to "request" a job, and then take it seriously regardless of the size of the job. When colleagues and leaders think you are a reliable young man from small things, there will be more and more important jobs for you. My experience is that we must fully grasp the tasks that regular employees in this position can complete before we can consider ending this internship. For example, newspapers are independent journalists and publishers. Television is an independent group and film. If you only have superficial experience, this work means little to you. It is very important to be unique in my works. I have accumulated a lot of works when I graduated, which is very helpful for finding a job.
4) Attitude: The attitude of formal employees and interns is also conducive to your integration into the internship team. Hard-working friends are lovely. My first internship was in the summer of my sophomore year. I used to buy lunch for the whole team (although only a few people) in the hottest summer (not to mention cleaning up early) ... one good turn deserves another. Be diligent in small things, and everyone will be happy to help you with other things. Of course, these trivial things are also conducive to developing a good habit of modesty and prudence. Nowadays, many college students are too self-righteous, afraid to do big things and disdain to do small things. This kind of work is really rugged and embarrassing for everyone.
5) Others: The additional benefit of internship is that it can make your career goals more clear. My undergraduate+master's degree is mainly an internship, and then I turn to full-time. In addition to the above positions, I have had experience as a professional teacher in colleges and universities. The whole internship+work experience spans print media, TV media, institutions, universities and colleges. Before graduation, I had a deep understanding of these positions, which was of great help to the real employment guidance, and it was also an important driving force for me to follow the call of interest and choose my present career. Only when you have experienced more and struggled more can you become more and more clear about what you want. Practice is a good medicine to avoid confusion.
