If you are a business owner, hiring summer interns will not only give you some extra help around the office, but it will also give some local college kids the chance to experience working in a real business environment. By offering an internship program, you will be helping your local colleges put out stronger, more skilled workers. Plus, with an internship program, you have a unique opportunity to find potential hires. An internship program allows you to monitor potential job candidates over the course of several months. Compared to a normal hiring situation where you meet potential candidates throughout a few interviews, an internship program gives you much more opportunity to get to know your potential new hires and see how smart, skilled and professional they are.
So how do you find an intern to hire over the summer? The best place to find an intern is at local colleges. In fact, many colleges even have departments dedicated to help you find an intern that will be a good match for your company. Once a college has put you in contact with several potential interns, you should interview them just like you would regular job candidates.
To successfully find an intern that is a perfect match for your company, you need to be very clear about what you will be expecting from your intern; if you explain that the intern will be expected to take his or her internship as seriously as he or she would a job, you may be able to weed out some interns that are looking for an easy way to get college credits. After all, if this person is going to be someone that you would potentially higher, you definitely want to find an intern that will perform his or her duties as an intern as if he or she were already on the payroll.
