????領導力內部網絡是一個在線社區，最有思想、最具影響力的商界人士將在此回答關于職業與領導力的問題。今天我們的問題是：“如何將實習工作變成全職工作？”以下是在線教科書租賃業巨頭Chegg網站CEO丹?羅森維格的回答。

????作為一家公司的CEO，現在是我一年當中最喜歡的一段時間。在未來幾周，我們將迎來新一批實習生，他們將占美國勞動總人口的10%左右。每年夏季，每個人都會問我同樣的問題（盡管具體形式可能有所不同）：我如何將暑期實習變成一份全職工作？盡管我們經常直接聘用曾經來公司實習的大學畢業生，但現實情況是，大多數實習生不會被我們正式錄用——至少不會馬上得到全職工作。一方面，他們還有一到兩年的校園生活。另一方面，并非所有人都希望畢業后在這里工作——他們有其他的夢想，這完全可以理解。但他們都很聰明，至少會提出這個問題。

????而這正是關鍵所在：最優秀的實習生會問許多問題。他們的問題可能涉及公司、行業或具體的技能。這些都是必要的問題，可以幫助他們更好地選擇正確的職業發展道路。最優秀的實習生都非常聰明，好奇心重，能夠很快掌握我們教授的技能，可以為公司創造真正的價值。簡而言之，他們就是我們想要聘用的初級員工。

????所以，當他們來問我，如何將實習崗位變成全職工作時，不論他們年齡多大，我都會告訴他們，實習就是為期3個月的面試。這條建議適合任何一家公司的每一名實習生。對于公司來說，實習是公司評估大學人才的機會，而對于實習生們來說，實習則是他們評估潛在雇主與職業發展方向的機會。它也是一個巨大的機遇，因為在競爭激烈的就業市場中脫穎而出的應屆畢業生，都完成過超過一次實習。畢業生或許可以憑借學位找到一份入門級工作，但最優秀的候選人必須具備實際經驗。

????我會建議每一名實習生關注三件事：抓住每一個機會，通過小事贏得信任，時刻思考如何創新。與同事建立關系同樣非常重要。還要興趣盎然地了解已經在公司工作的人——這自然意味著要問更多問題（并傾聽答案）。但即便他們會提出各種各樣的問題，我還是會告訴他們，大多數時候，他們要靠自己去尋找答案。不要覺得問題太微不足道或太傻而羞于啟齒，但也別指望不經思考便能得到所有答案。

????在我所在的公司，我們會努力確保所有實習生均能獲得積極的經歷，為公司做出有意義的貢獻，學會技能，積累經驗，幫助他們發展自己的職業。有時候，由于許多原因，實習可能并不成功，但實習經驗依舊有其價值。就像生活中的許多事情一樣，最終要靠你自己去找出答案，并將這段經歷中的價值最大化。（財富中文網）

????The Leadership Insider network is an online community where the most thoughtful and influential people in business contribute answers to timely questions about careers and leadership. Today’s answer to the question “How can you turn an internship into a full-time job?” is by Dan Rosensweig, CEO of Chegg.

????As CEO, this is my absolute favorite time of the year. Over the coming weeks, we will start welcoming another class of interns, who will constitute about 10% of our U.S. workforce. And at some point during the summer, each and every one of them is going to ask me (in one form or another) the same question: How do I turn my summer internship into a full-time job? While we frequently hire recent graduates directly out of our intern pool, the truth is that we aren’t going to hire most of our interns—at least not immediately. For one thing, they tend to have another year or two left in school. For another, not all of them want to work here when they graduate–they have other aspirations and that is perfectly okay. But they’re all smart to at leastask.

????And that’s kind of the point: The best interns tend to ask a lot of questions. Whether it be about the company, industry or specific skills–they’re all necessary questions to better help them pursue the right career path. The best interns arebright, naturally curious, and quickly able to build on the skills we teach them, ultimately delivering real value for our company. In short, they’re exactly the type of entry-level people we want to hire.

????So when they ask how to turn an internship into a full-time gig–regardless of their age–I always tell them that an internship is a three month job interview. And this is advice that is applicable to any intern at any company. It is as much an opportunity for the company to evaluate college-level talent, as it is for the intern to evaluate potential employers and career tracks. Internships are a huge opportunity for students, because the recent graduates who standout in a competitive job market are the ones who have completed more than one internship. Many recent graduates will be qualified for an entry-level job based on their degrees, but the best candidates will have real world experience.

????I tell all of our interns to focus on three things: pursue every opportunity, earn trust by seizing the small stuff, and always be thinking of ways to remain innovative. It’s also important for them to build relationships with their colleagues. Take a real interest in learning about the people who already work at the company–which of course means asking more questions (and listening to the answers). But even as they’re busy asking all of these questions, I also tell them that a lot of the time they’re going to have to find the answers themselves. No question is too small or dumb to ask, but don’t expect to be spoon-fed all the answers.

????In my company, we work really hard to ensure that all of our interns have a positive experience, make a meaningful contribution to the business, and learn skills and gain experience that will help them develop in their careers.Sometimes internships don’t work out, for a wide variety of reasons, but there is still value to be extracted from the experience. As with so many things in life, it is going to be up to you to find these answers and maximize the value in the experience.
