You’ve landed an internship. How can you make it work for you and land a job offer?
Internships are an opportunity to build relationships within the company, but also in the industry or community. The company you are working for might have a strong brand or position which allows you to reach out and make connections that would have otherwise been difficult. Learning how to network well is critical. As the old adage says, it’s not just what you know (or do), but who you know and more important who knows you. So put yourself out there, get others involved in your project offering you advice or connections, and see how one internship can kickstart a career.

Well Made Decisions
New Degree Press
How do you make good decisions?
This is a question many leaders ask as they consider choices on investments, hiring (and firing), product launches, acquisitions, and more. Often people think the decision itself is what makes a good outcome but, in reality, the many choices that follow a decision heavily influence its level of success. Well Made Decisions explores how leaders can both make a choice and make it right through exceptional implementation. -
