When speaking of
joining an
internship
program, many
college students
find it such a
waste of time.
What they don’t
know is that
employers, in general, consider internship experience
as one of the most essential factors to consider when
hiring a job applicant. If you still are not convinced
that you had better sign up for internship, you should
learn more about the benefits you can gain from
becoming an intern. Here are some of them:
There isIncreased knowledge in the industry.
nothing more valuable than having the opportunity
to talk and work with people in the industry you are
planning to work in eventually. By working in a
company as an intern, you can experience firsthand
everything that you have learned in school. Although
you can get this experience when you are officially
hired in a company, it is still better that you gain such
experience while you are still a student so that you
will still have time to take additional courses that you
think are necessary.
You can assess your strengths and weaknesses.
Once you are put in a situation where you have to
accomplish tasks for a specific period of time, you
have no other choice but to use all your knowledge
and the skills you have developed to complete your
assignments. At the end of the day, you can get a
glimpse of your worth as an employee. You will
realize which parts of your work you excel in, and
what you are poor at. This is an important realization
that will help you decide if you need further training
or not.

you just feel excited about entering the workforce.
And when you get there, you may have a hard time
adjusting to the work environment and the demands
of your job. By working as an intern first, you will be
able to see what your future workplace is like and
how you think you can handle it. For some, the period
of internship makes them realize that they are
actually pursuing the wrong career.
During anOpportunity to enhance your network.
internship program, you will necessarily meet
different people and professionals. Aside from the
people you will be working with and your employer,
there is a chance that you will meet owners of other
companies as well. In short, your internship period
presents a golden opportunity for you to have a
bigger professional network. As you may know, your
network is going to play a significant role in the
success of your job search and career advancement
later on. This is an opportunity that you and other
university students should definitely not take for
granted.
If you try to
search online
for advice for
job seekers,
you will surely
find a lot of
content
explaining how
workers may succeed in their job search. The same is

true for advancing your career. As you take a look at
those words of advice from experts, you’ll realize
they are all common sense. Well, actually, they are.
However, if you fail to put them all in practice, there
is no way they could help you achieve success in your
career. Thus, it is vital that you form habits that will
make you a winner. Here are some of them:
1. Have a career goal and be enthusiastic about
achieving it.
Basically, your career goal is your dream job. You
may not have it right now, so it is what you should be
working for. But first of all, you need to have a clear
understanding of your work and how you could do
well in it. This means you should use both your
technical expertise and right attitude to meet your
employer’s expectations.
2. Do not rely only on your competence.
It isn’t enough that you try to do well in your job. You
have to see to it that your employer notices your
efforts. You should also make it clear to your
employer that you are looking to receive a reward for
the hard work you are doing. Remember that for you
to really advance in your career, you should ask for it.
Otherwise, you might end up being overlooked all the
time.
3. Take some risks.
Don’t just wait around for opportunities to advance
your career. Look for ways you could enhance your
skills and become more valuable in the workplace.
Have the initiative, for instance, to join training
programs or courses where you could acquire the
necessary skills that will make you deserving of a
higher position in the company. Then, let your
manager know about your efforts and what you are
expecting after taking them.
4. Grow your network.
Networking is not only useful for job seekers. Even
while you are employed, you should continuously
grow your professional network. Besides, you can
never be sure when you are going to decide to change
employment.
5. Keep your eyes on your goals.
It is very easy to be distracted, and there are so many
things around you that may take away your focus. Do
a self assessment from time to time so that you will
see where you are in your career plan.
6. Don’t forget to have fun!
No career advancement is worth celebrating if you
are all on your own and lonely. Therefore, you should
make time to be with the people you love. Have time
for yourself also because if you come to think of it,
your biggest inspiration for having a great career is to
have a more enjoyable and meaningful life.
The ultimate goal of
every job seeker is to
receive a job offer.
During a job interview,
you want to present
yourself so well that the
hiring manager will
eventually decide that
you are the perfect
person for the job.
However, there are
times when you may
have doubts on whether
the job being offered to
you is indeed the one that can perfectly suit you.
Accepting an employment offer is a huge
commitment, so it is important that you assess all the
aspects of the offer and the job itself first before you
accept it. Below are some really good reasons you
shouldn’t refuse a job offer.
Cosmic Coaching Centre
http://cosmiccoachingcentre.com Page 4
1. Great benefits
When it comes to the benefits you can get in a
particular job, it may be difficult to find a perfectly
complete package. This means that you cannot expect
a company or employer to offer you all the best
employee benefits possible. What you can do is look
into the benefits package and see if you are offered
the essential ones, such as health insurance, paid
vacation time, as well as a reasonable pension plan. If
you don’t think you are being offered substantial
benefits, you may as well survey the market and try
your luck in another company.
2. Distance
You should not take for granted the distance between
your home and your place of work. Ideally, you would
want to just bike or walk to work because this is a
huge incentive for you. Aside from the fact that you
will have fewer transportation expenses, you will not
have to stress about the traffic when you go to and
from work.
3. Opportunity to learn new things
If the position offered to you will have you do things
that are unfamiliar to you, this shouldn’t turn you off.
As a matter of fact, this is a good reason for you to
take on the job. You wouldn’t want to end up getting
bored with doing the same things over and over
again. Also, this is a great opportunity for you to
enhance your skills and learn many new things.
4. Consistent and reasonable work schedule
Your work should not be something that will take
away the time you have for yourself and your loved
ones. Thus, it is always beneficial to have a job which
has a consistent and reasonable schedule. Flexibility
is another thing you would want from a position. By
having a consistent schedule of work, it becomes
easier for you to make plans ahead.
5. Chance for advancing in your career
Career advancement is something every worker
dreams of having. If the job being offered to you
clearly gives you opportunities to advance in your
career, there is no reason you should turn it down.
This will serve as your motivation to continuously
work hard and be productive.
