让实习经历更有价值的3个秘诀

通过JobUpper的实训项目，我定期采访许多准备开始在ReadyAI或其他公司实习的高中生和大学生们，并和他们一起工作。大多数实习生希望在专业领域有所发展发展，同时对自己有更深的了解。这些学生和年轻的专业人士，他们的目标是培养持久的人际关系，在ReadyAI与他们的直接上司或我留下最好的印象。

很久以前，在高中和大学毕业后，我也做过实习。 今天，我与许多实习生互动，给我们的新实习生提供很多建议，这里就包括有三个秘诀，相信一定会给你的实习经历增添价值。

1. 理解组织架构: 在实习期间，很快你就会发现每个人都有一个他们想要取悦的主管: 你，然后是你的主管，然后是经理的经理，还有他们的经理等等。 试着去理解命令结构，每个职位和人员的要求，这将为您提供有关如何创建有效工作的独特视角。 了解你直属上司的期望，这将为你最终产品或项目的增值提供有价值的信息。

2.全面了解公司: 我经常告诉 ReadyAI 的实习生们，作为新实习生，你很容易迷失自我，融入其中并承担分配给您的任务责任。 但是，在实习期间，你最重要的事情之一，应该是不断地加深对全局的了解。

因此，如果你对市场营销感兴趣，并且在教育，非营利，生产和媒体领域有过实习经验，但又只是在市场营销和传播领域内。那就去了解这些企业的运作方式：它们如何创造收入，主要合作伙伴是谁以及进步对他们而言意味着什么，这将帮助你在未来的实习职业生涯中取得成功。在实习结束之前，尝试回答以下问题：

●谁是最重要的客户？我们产生收入的主要方法是什么？

●从A到Z的产品/服务流程是什么？

●业务有哪些不同领域？他们如何互相协作的？

●其他公司如何使用其产品/服务来运营他们的业务？他们如何评价这些产品/服务？

3.抽出时间去学习不同的领域和功能：尽管实习是为了在帮助你获得更多的机会和经验，但它们也应该有助于你更好地了解自己未来真正想要做什么。每天我都会看到实习生没有花时间走出他们的舒适区去与他们部门以外的人交谈。那么多错过的对话，可以使他们对如何应对自己的未来职业生涯有更多的了解。因此，如果你的职责是市场营销，请不要害怕与UI / UX，运营，IT或其他部门的人员交谈。你永远不会知道它是否会激发您的兴趣。

因此，对所有学生或我应该说年轻的专业人士：恭喜，你已经获得了ReadyAI或其他企业的实习机会-现在就去那里学习，并提高自我水平。

提出问题，尽可能的多与人交谈，倾听，记好笔记，不要害怕犯错误，因为这就是你学习和获得乐趣的方式。

I regularly interview and work with many high school students and college students preparing to begin their new internships with ReadyAI and other companies through JobUpper. The majority of our interns hope that they develop professionally and obtain a better understanding of themselves. These students and young professionals have their eyes on cultivating lasting connections and making the best impression they can at ReadyAI with their direct supervisors or me.  

 

A long time ago, and after graduating from high school and college, I also had done internships. Today, I interact with many of our interns, while I give lots of advice to our new interns, here are three secret tips that are sure to add value to any internship.

 

#1 Understand the organization chart:  In your internship, you will soon find out that everyone has a supervisor they are trying to please: there’s you, then your supervisor, then your manager’s manager, and their manager, and so on. Try to understand the chain of command, what is required of each position, and person, which will give you a distinct perspective on how to create effective work. Understanding what is expected of your direct supervisor will provide you with valuable information on how to add value to the end product or project expected of you.

 

#2 Develop an all-around understanding of the company:  I often tell interns at ReadyAI that as new interns, it is really easy to get lost, keeping yourself apart and occupied with the tasks responsibilities given to you. But one of the most important things you should continuously do at your internship is to gain develop a better understanding of the bigger picture.  

 

So if you are interested in marketing and have an internship in education, nonprofit, production, and media, but all within the realm of marketing and communications. Understanding how these businesses function: how they make revenue, who their main partners are, and what progress means for them will help you succeed as you advance your career as an intern in future companies. Try to answer these questions before your internship ends:

• Who are the most significant clients? What are the main methods we generate revenue?

• What is the process of our product/service from A to Z?

• What are the different areas of the business? How do they work with one another?

• How do other companies use their products/service to run their operations? How do they value them?

 

#3 Make the time to learn about different areas and functions:  Although internships are intended to help you get more exposure and experience, they should also help you gain a better understanding of what you genuinely want to do in the future. Every day I observe interns that are not taking the time to step out of their comfort zone and talk to somebody outside their department. There are so many missed conversations that could have given them more knowledge on how they should tackle their future career. So if your role is in marketing, don’t be scared to talk to someone in UI/UX, operations, IT or other departments. You never know if it will spark an interest in you.  

 

So to all students or I should say young professionals: Congrats, you got the internship with ReadyAI or elsewhere – now go out there and LEVEL UP.  

 

Ask questions, talk to as many people as you can, listen, take good notes, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes because that’s how you learn and have fun.
