Many companies are more willing to hire their interns than those who are new to the company. This practice allows the company to already be familiar with the applicant's skills and pe rsonality. If working for the company you interned for is not a possibility, referrals are also great. In a closing interview with my bureau chief, we spoke a lot about my future. He gave me some advice on how to be a good journalist, and then he told me he would help me get a job in Washington, D.C., if I ever wanted to return.
Organizations usually know about job opportunities at related companies.
They can help find jobs and give references to the new employers. Cox said many students graduate from college and then do not work in the field they studied in college. An internship lets students know beforehand if their major is something they want to be doing after graduation. I know working for the news service has helped me know what journalism will be like in the real world. Internships do have their negative sides, too.
