What is the most important thing for college students to do internships?

1. What companies value most for interns: comprehensive quality

The survey shows that there are overwhelming recruitment advertisements for various talents online, and most of them have one: more than a few years. Relevant experience. This has become the most troublesome threshold for fresh graduates. But judging from the feedback from companies, most companies are well prepared when recruiting interns. Work experience is not the first choice, but rather the overall quality of the students. Such as interpersonal communication, communication and coordination skills, response ability, learning and acceptance skills, etc. The second is the attitude towards dealing with others and their conduct. All interns who have a correct attitude, are dedicated, honest, open-minded and eager to learn, and work conscientiously and responsibly are highly praised by various business units. For example, Orient Communications Sales and Service Co., Ltd. reported that interns have a better attitude and do not complain when they have to work overtime sometimes. Holley Holdings Co., Ltd. even mentioned that an intern from a certain college was unable to complete the task due to illness. He actively entrusted others to help complete the task and had a strong sense of responsibility. These qualities are appreciated by the company, and the overall score increases significantly.

Comments: Quality, and even character, cannot be changed overnight. For example, some interpersonal skills can be cultivated through conscious use of rest time by participating in volunteer activities, doing social surveys, working in the community during summer vacation, etc.

2. The biggest problem of interns: high vision but low hand

The survey shows that among the recruited interns, there are still problems of lack of experience and work ability, as well as the phenomenon of high vision but low hand. The phenomenon of high-mindedness and low-hands is more prominent among undergraduate students. Most companies say that the gap in capabilities is not a problem. The important thing is to be able to position themselves correctly and be willing to start from the grassroots in a down-to-earth manner and lay a solid foundation for every step.

It is also a common problem for many interns to be blind about their own development direction. They are about to graduate from college, but they have no special skills. They seem to know everything and know nothing. They don’t know what they should do, and they don’t know what to do. Be willing to do things that are too easy.

Most companies report that interns still do not meet certain expectations in terms of professional skills, and the combination of theory and practice needs to be improved. One of the most troublesome problems for companies is that "they can't bear the hardships, they resign and leave after only a few days of work, and they don't have a firm will." Hangzhou Dali Technology Co., Ltd. mentioned that some college students are not as good as technical secondary school students, and their mentality is not correct and they cannot endure hardship.

Comments: Although college students have no business experience, they have professional knowledge and are highly malleable. Moreover, they are young, enterprising and innovative, which is exactly in line with the needs of corporate growth and competition. In addition, through early internships, college students can early discover the gap between themselves and professionals, and in the process of returning to school to continue their studies, they can consciously make up for the deficiencies in professional skills.

Although today's college students have a strong career awareness, they still have deficiencies in career planning, professional quality development, and skills training, especially in terms of practical work skills. Filling this gap should not only be the responsibility of the school, but also the obligation of society. The "Born to Be Talented" website will recently assist the Provincial Department of Education in carrying out pilot work in this regard, providing college students with the final quenching process before entering society, shortening the adaptation period, and cultivating healthy career concepts.

3. Internships can be a way for companies to recruit regular employees

The survey shows that almost all companies hope to test students through internships and select employees they are satisfied with. . Oriental Communications has also specially developed internship files to record the interns' work performance, abilities and characteristics during the internship, which will be used as a basis for priority consideration in future recruitment. Holley Holdings Co., Ltd. also specially holds a banquet to send off interns when they finish their internship. Interns with outstanding performance are included in the reserve talent pool and given priority during recruitment. All the companies and units surveyed stated that those who perform well in tests on their hands-on ability, attitude towards work, etc. during the internship period can become full-time employees after graduation, provided they voluntarily do so. In addition, students still strongly prefer well-known large companies when choosing internship units.

Comments: Accepting interns actually, to a certain extent, helps the company check the first hurdle and provides a longer inspection period.
