Good news interns. You are getting job offers at record levels this year!
According to the Wall Street Journal, about 72% of interns received offer letters at the end of their internships up from 58.9% in 2015.
So how did they do it? Well, maybe they were just lucky, but we think they probably followed some of these rules.
Levo talked with millennial career expert Jill Jacinto to get the scoop on what interns should do to turn that stint into a full time gig.
Be proactive
Jacinto says, "Now, more than ever managers are looking for self-starters. Do not sit back and wait until work is handed off to you. Always seek out ways in which you can help the company. Something as seemingly meaningless as reorganizing the break room, sorting out inventory, filing press lists will help the company in a major way."
Be interested
We've already talked about doing more than just the task at hand, but also take a look at the industry of the company you so very much want to work for. Get to know the different roles in the company, analyze your competitors, research the company's history. You may have just finished school but real life requires homework also.
Don't act entitled
It isn't a true stereotype of millennials, but it is one we are plagued with so don't give any of your superiors any ammunition. You have to walk a very line between confidence and also being super humble.
