大學(xué)實習(xí)要趁早
????目標(biāo)公司。如果你特別期望能在一家公司工作,可以查看一下它的招聘頁面,其中可能會列出實習(xí)機會。費德里科建議:“如果目前尚沒有什么機會,可以發(fā)一份簡歷和一封求職信,表達自己對未來潛在機會的興趣。之后,要保持與人力資源部的聯(lián)系。甚至可以考慮自己設(shè)計實習(xí)機會。雇主肯定會喜歡你的積極性,而且如果在暑假期間能多一個幫手,大部分公司都會表示歡迎。” ????如果你嘗試過上述所有途徑,卻依然未能成功,或者你不想(像多數(shù)實習(xí)崗位一樣)將整個暑假都花在沒有報酬的臨時工作上,又該怎么辦?事實上,就算如此,也并非無路可走。美國大學(xué)與雇主協(xié)會( National Association of Colleges and Employers)招聘信息經(jīng)理安德里亞·孔茨說:“80%的雇主在審核應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生的簡歷時,會尋找能證明領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力的履歷。此外,75%的招聘經(jīng)理們則會注重求職者解決問題的能力。” ????所以,如果沒有實習(xí)的機會,就要千方百計積累以上其中一個方面或者兩方面的經(jīng)驗。賈森·萊文說:“暑假能當(dāng)上救生員當(dāng)然很好。但是,如果能管理一個救生員小分隊就更好了。關(guān)鍵在于,這樣可以證明,在課堂之外,你也可以承擔(dān)起其他方面的責(zé)任。” ????此外,萊文還建議在校期間,想方設(shè)法參加由學(xué)校老師指導(dǎo)的調(diào)查或咨詢項目。他說:“在大多數(shù)大學(xué),教授與公司會經(jīng)常進行合作。此外,還有由學(xué)生在校內(nèi)創(chuàng)辦的、針對校外公司的組織,學(xué)生們都可以積極參與。這方面的信息可以咨詢校園就業(yè)中心或?qū)W生活動辦公室。” ????萊文補充說:“或者,你也可以通過商業(yè)性的全國性兄弟會尋找機會,比如Delta Sigma Pi。”Delta Sigma Pi(對男性和女性均開放)于1907年成立于紐約大學(xué)(New York University),目前擁有300個地方分支機構(gòu),大約226,000名會員。其中肯定有一個分支機構(gòu)能幫你找到一份兼職,讓你在未來求職時吸引到潛在雇主的眼球。 ????譯者:劉進龍/汪皓 |
????Target companies.?If there's a particular company where you'd like to work, take a look at its career page, where internships might be listed. "If nothing seems to be available right now, send a resume and a cover letter expressing interest in potential future openings," Federico suggests. "Then follow up with human resources. You could even consider designing your own internship. Employers will love your initiative, and most companies would welcome an extra pair of hands during the summer." ????What if you try all that and strike out -- or if you just can't afford to spend the summer on an unpaid gig (as most internships are)? All is not lost. "Eight out of ten employers who review resumes of new college grads are looking for evidence of leadership skills," notes Andrea Koncz, employment information manager at the National Association of Colleges and Employers. "In addition, 75% of hiring managers are looking for problem-solving skills." ????So, in the absence of an internship, try to find ways to get experience with either or both. "Spending the summer as a lifeguard is fine," says Jason Levin. "Managing a team of lifeguards is even better. The point is to show that you can take responsibility for something beyond the classroom." ????Levin also recommends seeking out ways to contribute to a faculty-supervised research or consulting project during the school year. "At most universities, there are plenty of joint efforts between professors and businesses that you can get involved in, as well as student-run organizations on campuses that do assignments for companies," he says. "Ask your campus career center or student activities office for information on these. ????"Or you can find opportunities through national fraternities focused on business, like Delta Sigma Pi," Levin adds. Founded at New York University in 1907,?Delta Sigma Pi?(open to both men and women) now has 300 chapters with about 226,000 members. One of them may well be able to hook you up with part-time work that will catch a future employer's eye. |
