There are a number of ways to turn your internship into a full time job. A lot of companies start hiring for summer internships in January and February or even earlier. So if your internship is coming to an end and you're looking to land a full-time job after graduation, it's important to start the process early. You need to start thinking about what jobs might fit your
skills, interests and personality. Some employers have formal internship programs, while others will take on interns who have already graduated. The best way to find out about these
opportunities is to ask the employer or recruiter directly. If you’re still in school, you may want to consider applying for internships jobs at the same time as applying for a scholarship or graduate assistantship. This can help you get started with an organization while also
helping you pay for school (and gain valuable experience). Once you’ve graduated and are looking for full-time employment, there are two main ways to get hired:
Make Yourself Stand Out
In order to stand out from other candidates and make sure that you get noticed by recruiters and hiring managers, make sure that your resume is tailored specifically towards each job opportunity so that it reflects exactly what they need from you.
● Apply directly through career websites and/or search for jobs using networking connections.
If possible, try to speak with someone who works at the company before sending in an application; this will give them more information about who you are and can help them decide if they want to bring you on board.
● Get involved with company events outside of work. In addition to learning more about the company culture by attending company events, it gives you an opportunity to network with other employees and make connections that can help you find a full-time job
down the line. You should also make sure to attend industry-related events
as well as volunteer opportunities that give you exposure in other parts of
the business world — both will help you develop relationships outside of
your immediate team.
● Ask questions and voice concerns. If something doesn't seem right at work or if there's something you don't understand, ask questions! Asking questions shows that you're engaged
with what's happening around you (which is going to make your boss happy) but also shows that you are interested in staying after your internship.
But what if you want a full time position after graduation, but don't have any internship experience? The good news is that it's possible to get a full time job. It just takes some
savvy networking and some persistence.
Here's how: Network like crazy! When people hear about open positions at their
company, they'll often recommend friends or family members who might be
interested in applying for the job. You should do this too — even if you aren't related by blood or friendship, these people may know someone who knows someone who works there. If nothing else, they'll be able to put in a good word for you if they think you'd be a good fit for the company. Connect with recruiters, hiring managers and coaches in the industry of your choice. These people have first hand knowledge about jobs before they are even
posted on the company website.
Word of advice: Be nice to your recruiters.
What if I have done all this and I am still not getting a job?
The best place to start is with a staffing agency like Sizanid. HR companies are like matchmakers, pairing companies with talented professionals in a variety of industries. They take care of all the HR paperwork and interview process, which frees up your time to focus on the job itself.
Here are some reasons why you should consider working with a HR company like us:
● The agency finds jobs for people like you. HR agencies know what employers need and can match candidates with positions based on their skills and experience.
● You get paid while working an internship or temporary position. Many companies offer hourly wages and stipends to cover expenses like travel and childcare during short-term assignments that last from two weeks to three months (but typically no more than six months).
● The agency protects your privacy when applying online or over the phone by using its own contact information instead of yours so employers don't have access to personal information before they've met with you in person or spoken by phone about the job opportunity
further.
● Agencies have jobs that are not limited to specific locations so you are able to find jobs in different countries and industries.
Lastly, Talk with your employer about their hiring process. If you're interested in making this an ongoing opportunity or a new opportunity within the organization, talk with your internship supervisor about their hiring process before the internship begins. It's important to
understand what kind of qualifications they're looking for and whether or not
there's room for advancement within the company itself. If there isn't, consider applying for another position at another company within the same, industry as one of their competitors or an entirely different one altogether.
