Fall Internships Sacramento CA

TO-DO BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS:
 
1. Move into awesome new apartment (away from the dorms and parents)
2. Register for classes (no classes on Friday or before 9 a.m. please!)
3. Buy books (there goes $500 I'll never see again...)
4. Party with friends before classes start

Add this to your 'to-do' list: Secure an internship.

For those who believe that internships are synonymous with summer break, think again. According to recent surveys, fall internship hiring is on the rise and the opportunities are paving the way for full-time positions for those hired to do the job.

Sixty-one percent of hiring managers say they're hiring college students or recent college graduates for internships this fall, according to a survey by college job search site CBcampus.com. Forty-four percent say they would likely hire college interns as full-time, permanent employees.

"It's never too early to start thinking about internships," says Nathan Lippe, senior career adviser for CBcampus.com. "There are a great deal of opportunities that exist as long as you take the time to search and apply."

Not only do internships plump up your résumé, they can also save you time on your full-time job search. Plus, making yourself available for an internship increases your chances for hiring in the long run. Fifty-nine percent of hiring managers surveyed said they currently recruit interns or they have in the past, while 14 percent plans to take on interns in the future. Eighty-four percent of hiring managers say they will be hiring college interns for the fall between June and September.
