As often happens to university or college students, the first job offered is an ** internship ** in some company, more or less large, that uses this period to verify that you are suitable to be part of the team. During this period it is necessary that you manage to emerge showing all your qualities, to distinguish yourself from other trainees. For this reason we have compiled a series of useful tips to move from this situation to a ** full-time job **. Enjoy the reading!

** Set different alarms **

One of the most appreciated qualities in the workplace is ** punctuality **. A punctual person appears in the eyes of the employer as reliable and serious, therefore useful to any team. So set more alarms in the morning, so you can be sure you wake up in time to get to the office. Remember: to be defined on time, you must arrive at least 15 minutes before the appointment.

** Be careful how you behave **

It may happen to observe trainees outside working hours while they speak ill of their employer. This can be counterproductive because, in addition to not resolving the work situation, it risks making you look bad. So if you don't have something constructive to say, avoid commenting before you end up in some awkward situation because, remember, you are always in the spotlight.

** Remember the names **

How does it make you feel when they don't remember your name in the workplace? When people in the office forget your name it can mean that you are not important to the job and therefore ** close to firing . Your colleagues can think the same thing when you don't remember their names, because it may seem that their work is not important to you. For this it is necessary that you find a way to ** learn the names of colleagues , even going so far as to write them on a piece of paper if useful.

** Learn to manage stress **

** Stress ** is a natural condition that can often occur in the workplace, a consequence of ** facing new challenges **. During your internship you will face stressful situations, but how you deal with them will be up to you alone. Stress can be a source of motivation, but at the same time it can also bring you down - it's important that you manage to stay focused and relax through any means. A calm attitude and ** ready to solve any problem ** will make both your co-workers and your boss feel at ease. You will be seen in their eyes as a confident and reliable team member, who will not hold back in the face of challenges and able to work on even the most important and challenging projects.

** Don't take anything for granted **

As many recruiters say, often those who start an internship are convinced that they will not have to do much because they are in an unimportant position and therefore will not be entrusted with difficult tasks. But in reality ** there are no less important tasks **. You need to do your job 110% all the time, because that will be what your employer will base on when evaluating you. If he sees that you can complete the assigned tasks well, he will be more inclined to make you do more and more important work.

** Don't say "No" **

Obviously there are limits to this statement, mind you. But it is important to understand when it is preferable to respond to a request with ** "Yes, if ..." . This is because you will show yourself available to deal with any task, as long as those who request it come to meet you. In fact, answering “Yes, if you explain it to me” is considered a very normal phrase uttered by any trainee who is there to learn, but at the same time ** it allows you to be an enterprising person .

** Build your personal brand **

When you interface with a company for the first time, you are an unknown factor for them. In that moment you have to decide how you want your colleagues to perceive you and the employee you want to become. Think about your ** values, goals, ethics ** and think about how this applies to your desired line of work - this will allow you to understand if the workplace is right for you and vice versa. If you are in a company that shares your values, it will be easier for you to stand out and be able to get a full-time job, or at most it could be an ** enriching experience **.

** Do what others don't want to do **

You know those jobs that nobody wants to do in the office? Which ones are most likely needed for the boss? ** You will have to be the one to take care of them and carry them out **. This initiative of yours will be well regarded in the eyes of the employer, who will not be able to trust anyone else but you to carry out that job from then on.

** It shines on its own **

If you think that to stand out you have to get in the way of other trainees or do the lick with the boss, know that you are very wrong. ** The internship is a useful opportunity to show everyone your qualities ** and make your colleagues understand that you can become indispensable. Spend all your energy shining on your own merits and not on the demerits of others. Only by doing this will your employer trust you and assign you more important tasks day after day. By following the advice in this article you can make your absence felt in the office and everyone will wonder how they did before without you. Soon you will find yourself having to help future trainees to grow at work, precisely because ** you will be the example of commitment and excellence ** that your company has seen in you.
