Internships offer an excellent way for graduates to find more permanent work, one expert has suggested. Director
of Internocracy.co.uk Dom Potter said a number of valuable skills can
be learned through a placement. He
remarked: 'There are so many non-cognitive skills that you can pick up
doing internships, which you wouldn't get from just academia.' Not only this, internships provide 'a really good bridge' between education and employment, Mr Potter added.
Despite
this, some people may find it difficult to take on these types of
positions because those from disadvantaged backgrounds will not be able
to afford essential living costs while working for little or no money,
he stated. (article) We at UltimateIntern agree that an internship for a graduate can be very useful. Not to sound like a broken record, but the economy is still in bad shape and we all know someone how can't find a job. If you have the money to survive a few months, or can get your parents to sponsor you, try an internship. The whole key is to really impress your superiors, and convey to them that they need to hire you because you are a helpful, hard-working asset. The worst case is you don't turn full-time, but you still learn a lot and boost your resume...
