College students are often advised to seek out internship opportunities, with good reason. Internships are one of the most effective ways to build a professional network and to encourage job offers after graduation. However, this is only true if you make a positive impression. Show up early for each shift, take the time to get to know people in the office and ask meaningful questions. By taking these steps, and by exhibiting a strong work ethic, you will increase your chances of getting a permanent job offer or at least an excellent letter of reference.
