Tips to find a good work practice

Procter & Gamble (P&G) shared with six recommendations for college students – of semesters about to end – to find the best place to meet and learn from this challenge:

1. Analyze what you want to achieve and what your expectations are

When starting your practice search, it is important that as a student you ask yourself what you would really like to learn in it.

It is also necessary to know what your skills and preferences are, because this experience will be the first approach to your professional field and it would not be good to start in something that is not of interest to you or where you do not see yourself in the future.

2. Make a list of the companies where you would most like to work

Internships are the perfect opportunity for you to approach a specific sector or company. From this experience you can be inspired and identify with the purposes of the company, either by the nature of the business, its good practices or by its competitiveness.

So, it’s ideal that you find a place where you identify and can be proud to work, learning about something that motivates you.

3. Ask your university what types of agreements they have

You can go to your career faculty, director or person in charge of the internship process to ask about agreements with companies that are looking for interns; This is a valuable way to incorporate yourself into a business practice.

4. Prepare your resume and job interview

Like any job, to access a work internship you must present your resume and attend an interview where the recruiter will evaluate how suitable you are to fill the internship vacancy. It will also help you organize your professional and academic profile, your skills, knowledge and contact information.

Remember, your resume serves as a cover letter for the company. On the other hand, simulate an interview with a colleague so that your nerves do not play tricks on you.

5. Meet the minimum requirements of a vacancy

It is common for the offers of some companies to demand minimum requirements and skills for their future practitioners. It is essential that you pay attention to the skills requested in the offer.

The most common requirements are language proficiency, management of specific programs or tools and other administrative rules such as presenting university enrollment or a certificate of agreement.

It is vital that you analyze if your profile meets all the requirements before applying and evaluate what knowledge or skills are frequently required; This may also be the time to strengthen some of these elements.

6. Review the terms of the contract

According to information shared by P&G, contracts are essential when it comes to agreeing working conditions, so signing them should not be taken lightly.

Take your time and read the covenant carefully; If you have doubts, it is important that you express them. Make sure you recognize your rights and obligations, confirm if there is any type of remuneration and know the job description to which you apply, including tasks and schedules.
