Most students take an internship in order to gain experience and complete their course. However, some students set their minds on getting jobs via their internships. Companies hiring interns to work full-time is not unheard of, but it is certainly not as common as you may think. Here are a few foolproof tips that will push you over the finish line in your race to become gainfully employed.
There is no guarantee that you will get a full-time job after your internship

Maybe you will meet clients, customers, patients and so forth. You may also meet other people in the profession. Make friends wherever you can, and get them to link up with you on LinkedIn.

Use your sexuality but not sex
This is specifically aimed at women. Most interns are young, which makes them targets for middle-aged men.

Once you give it away, you are disposable through your own actions.
