In this economy getting a job is getting tougher every day. In fact, while you are on the job hunt you may find yourself with much more free time than you realized that you would have. Why not use that extra free time to refine you on the job skills as well as finding new professional contacts that can lead to bigger and better things? If that sounds like a great idea then you might want to look into using your free time to get one of the internship jobs that are currently available. With a five easy steps you can make potentially one of the best professional decisions of your life.

Find a Resource for Internship Jobs

Intern jobs are not always easy to find. Often it takes a personal contact to get your foot in the door. By simply calling up random HR representatives you are not assured the opportunity to get internship jobs. Instead it is a good idea to get some face to face contact. Attending career fairs is a great opportunity to meet people and to discover different opportunities that are available. Additionally, look into your own rolodex to see if you have some contacts that can help you get intern jobs. Often former co-workers, professional associations, and even alumni associations can help to open doors for you that you might not have realized were there.



Think Outside of the Box

There may not be internship jobs that are precisely what you are looking for. However, you do not need to let that stop you in your pursuit. Instead, use that absence as an opening for yourself. Think about what it is that makes you such a viable candidate for an internship. What is it that makes you special? Then use that to help market yourself to potential companies.

Seal the Deal

Now that you have made a professional contact, and specified why you are such a valuable addition to any team you need to come to an agreement. You should sit down with your potential employer and specify what both of your expectations are from any intern job. Be sure that you outline the hours, time period, and duties that your internship will encompass.

Listen and Learn

As an intern you may have to do some things that you might not have regularly done like making copies or filing. Do not let this bring you down. Instead, use the opportunity to listen a lot to everything going on around you. It is by listening that you can sincerely learn so much!

Make Connections

Use this as an opportunity to create professional relationships with others. Do not let your-self disappear or become forgettable. Instead, be a help to those around you and then they will want to help you while you are performing your intern jobs. Additionally, you never know if this internship could actually evolve into a full-time position. Make yourself likable, dependable, and indispensable.
