But many miss the chance to convert to full-time job With most of the nation’s colleges and universities quickly nearing the end of the spring semester, tens of thousands students and new graduates across the country are preparing to embark on summer internships, which are increasingly vital to career development. However, one workplace authority warns that many interns will fail to maximize the experience and convert it into a full-time position. “Internships are more important than ever. We are at a point in this recovery where job gains are finally gaining momentum, but, overall, employers remain cautious when it comes to hiring. They want to ensure that they are bringing in the most talented candidates who mesh well with the company and its workers. Internships offer an ideal on-the-job testing ground that more and more employers rely on for identifying and recruiting entry-level workers,” said John A. Challenger, chief executive officer of global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc. “The problem is that many interns simply show up every day, put in their hours and never give any thought about how to get the most out of their short time with the employer and taking the extra steps necessary to turn this temporary position into a fulltime one,” he added. According to an outlook released earlier this year by Challenger, Gray & Christmas, the entry-level job market has improved steadily over the last two years. However, the competition for these positions remains fierce and having internship experience is a must
on any resume. The latest data shows that the number of internships being offered is on the rise. The National Association of Colleges and Employers 2012 Internship & CoOp survey found that employers will increase internship hires 8.5 percent over 2011. Employers also reported the highest conversion rate, the rate by which interns become full-time employees, ever tracked by NACE: 57.7 percent in 2011 versus 58.6 percent this year. “Employers view internships as a valuable hiring tool. It gives employers the chance to evaluate a potential employee’s performance for an extended period of time in realworld conditions. It also lets an employer gauge how the intern fits into the company culture, which is nearly as important as skills and experience. “As an intern, it is critical to treat each day like a job interview. You want to set yourself apart from your fellow interns. As the slowing economy potentially leads to fewer full-time positions, it is critical that interns exceed expectations. Those who merely meet expectations probably will not get the full-time job offer,” said Challenger. “Meeting the right people during your internship is also critical. It is likely that the person supervising the interns is relatively low on the corporate totem pole. In fact, he or she may be only a year or two out of college. The intern with full-time job aspirations should make a daily effort to meet the managers and executives who make
the hiring decisions. The higher up the executive you impress, the greater the odds that a permanent position will be found for you,” he added. “Students who do not receive an offer from the company where they interned can still benefit from the experience. Managers and executives in the company represent the beginning of your job-search network. Even if they cannot find a spot for you in their company, they may know executives in another company that may have openings.” John Challenger provided the following advice for this year’s crop of summer interns to improve their chances of being offered a full-time job or the opportunity to return next summer, in the case of non-graduating college students: Treat your internship as a real job. The best way to prove you are qualified for a permanent position is through action. Think of your internship as a trial period or extended interview for obtaining the position you desire. Always be on time and meet deadlines. Maintain a positive attitude and show that you are eager to learn and succeed by seeking out feedback to improve your performance and develop new skills. Take initiative expectations.

Could you use 15 extra days a year to get your work done? If you always feel harried and harassed to get everything done in your life, think about getting up an hour earlier every day. By getting up just one hour earlier every day for a year, you will add 15 entire days to your life to get things done, according to Leif Hokanson of Personal Best Consulting.

If your job is starting to feel routine and your performance uninspired, itʼs time to take matters into your own hands: Motivate yourself. How? One way is to create a support group of your peers from outside your organization—even from outside your industry. Contact four to eight people you trust and know to be energetic, positive individuals. Make a commitment that whatʼs said in your meetings stays in those meetings. Then get together at least quarterly to share your aspirations, ideas, challenges, and (sometimes) pet peeves. You may be surprised at what you can learn from people outside your field and how many new ideas or solutions you gain from the networking experience.

Governor Launches Second Series of Job Creation Workshops AUGUSTA – Governor Paul LePage announced today he will host another series of industryspecific job creation workshops throughout the summer months. These working sessions are designed for business leaders to share ideas regarding job creation in Maine with the Governor, state officials and fellow business leaders to improve Maine’s economy. “I have continually said I want to listen to Maine’s job creators to find out what they need to succeed, expand, and create more jobs in our state,” said Governor LePage. “Our last round of job creation workshops was very successful, and we’re going to roll up our sleeves and work with the business community once again to get Maine’s economy moving forward,” continued the Governor. The Governor will host four separate industry-specific sessions throughout the summer months which are free for attendees. The kickoff event will be held at Southern Maine Community College at the Brunswick Landing on June 13, 2012, and will focus on the fishing, marine resources,
and coastal tourism industries. Businesses are invited to attend from all over the state, and preferred seating will be given to those representing the fishing, marine resource, and coastal tourism industries. Future sessions are expected to cover tourism, forestry, farming, and IT/manufacturing, with dates and locations to be determined. Department commissioners and senior leadership within the Governor’s Office will join the Governor to listen to suggestions and concerns, and to work with business leaders to improve the climate for job creation in Maine. “I have said before, government does not create jobs. But what we can do in Augusta is change the environment by which jobs are created in the private sector. We have been working diligently on this, and have made some progress, but I firmly believe there is more to do,” said the Governor. Interested businesses are encouraged to contact the Governor’s Office for more information at (207)287-3538 or visit www.maine.gov/governor to sign up. Space is limited and a CONFIRMED RSVP is required.

Continued from page 1 veterans. We can help them connect with the services they need, including training, jobs, rehabilitation or other benefits.” CareerCenters also help employers recruit and hire veterans. According to the U.S. Census, Maine has the fourth highest concentration of veterans in the nation. Approximately 132,000 residents are veterans, representing approximately 13.2 percent of the state population aged 20 or older. A recent report issued by the Maine Department of Labor indicates that labor force participation for veterans is generally lower than for the nonveteran population. A copy of the report, Labor Market Activities of Maine Veterans, is available on the Maine Department of Labor website at www.maine.gov/labor/cwri. Historically, veterans have had unemployment rates below the nonveteran population. This trend has reversed in recent years with higher unemployment rates for veterans than non-veteran workers. Most notable was the plight of young veterans, where unemployment rates nearly tripled to more than 14 percent during the recession and early recovery.
The VRAP program seeks to target the problem of unemployed veterans between the ages of 35 and 60. Participants may receive up to 12 months of assistance equal to the monthly full-time payment rate under the Montgomery GI Bill–Active Duty program—currently $1,473 per month. Each veteran who participates will be provided employment assistance upon completion of the program. Applications are now available online at http://benefits.va.gov/vow. The Maine Department of Labor’s CareerCenters offer specialized employment and training services for veterans. Veterans and eligible spouses are given priority of service under most Maine Department of Labor-funded programs. A CareerCenter veterans' representative can help returning service members find a job, learn new skills or access other state or federal resources. For more information about employment and training services for veterans, contact the CareerCenter at (207) 623-7981 or TTY 1-800-7941110 or visit www.mainecareercenter.com.

Be sure to include some accomplishments for each position you’ve held. For example, if you were a salesperson you might include information like “increased sales by 25 percent my first year by attending industry trade shows,� or if you are an accountant, maybe you “saved the company 20 percent by comparing long distance options.� Make sure any claims you make are true and that you can provide proof if asked.

meetings and seek out extra work and new projects. When you go above and beyond the minimum, you demonstrate your commitment level and gain the attention of management. Dress according to company dress codes. While you want to stand out from the pack, you don’t want to draw attention to yourself for the wrong reasons. By dressing professionally you reinforce the impression that you can adapt to and fit in with the company’s culture. Keep track of your contributions and accomplishments. Keep track of the projects you worked on, your individual contributions, and the results achieved. Having a tangible record of your achievements with the company is a helpful tool in convincing a manager why you should be hired full time. Network, network, network. Developing contacts inside and outside of your department is extremely important. Schedule lunches or meetings with company
managers and executives to give them a better understanding of what you’re about and what you plan on accomplishing. Find a mentor to teach you the ropes of the organization and offer advice on company politics. The contacts you make through your internship could prove invaluable throughout your time at the organization and throughout your career. Ask about available entry-level positions. Let your employer know that you would like a job with that particular organization. Ask about what positions are available and express your interest in them. An employer will be more likely to consider you for a position if they know you are interested in it. Stay in contact. If you don’t get hired for a position immediately after your internship ends, stay in touch. Check-in with your contacts and provide updates on your progress. This will help to keep you in the forefront for the employer’s mind when a position opens.
