Why Do I Need To Develop Internship Goals?

By Penny Loretto, About.com

Question: Why Do I Need To Develop Internship Goals?
Answer: Internships develop specific areas of expertise and prior to accepting, it's important to discuss your goals and what duties and tasks will be included in the internship. It's also important to discuss the employer’s expectations and make sure that you can meet them; since one of your primary goals is to end up with an excellent letter of recommendation at the end of your internship. Many employers consider internship experience in the hiring process and often Human Resources looks to their own interns as potential candidates for full-time positions after college.
