The Value of Internships

2010-03-08T10:20:00.000-08:00

Recent graduates are feeling the stress of a shaky economy and high unemployment. You’ve placed all your faith (and money) in the belief that a good education will lead to a great career. But even with your impressive GPA and perfectly worded cover letter, you still don’t have the practical work experience to get noticed by hiring managers. What you need is an internship.

Internships are on the rise as more companies are forced to lay off full-time employees. Unpaid or low paid interns fill gaps in employment and can easily pick up some of the work that gets neglected when staffing is low.

Leave your ego behind as it may not be the most challenging tasks you are given. Instead, focus on all the benefits gained from an internship:

• Gets your foot in the door and your face in front of decision-makers

• See first-hand what the day-to-day life is like in this career (real world is often quite different from what is learned in the college text books)

• Gain skills that can be highlighted on your resume

• Make the most of the opportunity to network with a variety of people in your field of interest

Hiring managers are evaluating interns for full-time employment, so approach the internship not as a low-paid student, but as a working professional hungry for a chance to grow and be recognized. Be on time to work each day, complete projects when due, seek out challenging tasks and ask for additional work, and be positive, enthusiastic, and respectful.

"Please be advised that I used your service and very pleased to announce that I received a call within 24 hours of signing up for your service. As a result, I have been hired by one of the largest operations in my field and have been offered top pay with good benefits. There are no words that can express how impressed I am with your service.

Since posting my resume on the internet, I have had many services solicit their help with my job search. However, when I received your e-mail I was moved to try the service. I am very glad that I did. You indicated in one of your e-mails that you make sure that resumes land on the “decision maker’s” desk. That statement was proven true. When interviewing with the Director of Operations he stated to me, “ I have no idea how your resume ended up on my desk. Normal procedure is that all resumes are filtered through the local administrators then sent to me with a request to consider.” This statement alone proves that your service is very unique from all others.

I am very excited about your service and have been spreading the word to everyone that I know. On behalf of my family and I, thank you very much for your insight regarding job search and service."

"I have put this off far too long, which is a bit of a contradiction considering how pleased I was about the outcome of my JobsByFax experience and the fact that I have been employed now for several months.

I paid a lot of money several years ago for a service which was very similar. I got results then too, which is why I was so pleased to find a similar service at a fraction of the price. I received two job offers and several useful inquiries from other potential employers. My first try with the service saw no immediate results; so the excellent guarantee kicked in and I tried again (no questions, no hassle). No sooner had I tried for the 2nd time than phone calls came in from my first effort and then even more from my 2nd effort. I guess if there's a lesson to be learned from this it is to be patient. I actually accepted a job from a contact I made from my first go-around. I couldn't have been more pleased. In fact I am about to use the service again for my wife."

"I've used JobsbyFax twice and got a new job within ONE WEEK of leaving my old job (which I also got with this service). My phone was ringing off the hook and I'm making more money now. For any skeptics, it works exactly how they say it will. No more hotjobs or monster.com for me...ever!"

"I wanted to say thank you for such and efficient awesome service. I was using other, more traditional, methods for about 8 months with very few responses. With your service I had calls immediately and was having face to face interviews within 36 hours. Amazing! The position I accepted was an unadvertised position. The faxes get to the people who are making the decisions and apparently bypass the traditional HR mode. I was looking for a position relating to my marketing background. I have been hired as Marketing Coordinator for a large printing company. This was, indeed, the position I was looking for. Outstanding! What an amazing program...so reasonably priced and it works!

Incidentally, I posted my husbands resume with your service last week, within 16 hours his phone was ringing off the hook! He has chosen his companies and has interviews set up for this coming Tuesday. He said he had never experienced anything like it before. Prospective employers calling him with REAL jobs."

"I have an incredible story and testimonial to tell you. In a nut shell, JobsByFax put my resume out on a Wednesday. Thursday and Friday, my phone didn’t stop ringing for two days. I received about 45 calls on those two days and the calls are still coming. The first week of October I had eight interviews. I had been looking for six months for a job. I have accepted a position as a marketing manager. I think it is going to be a great fit and I am very excited. Thank you doesn't cut it! How can I ever thank JobsByFax for what they did for me. I'm telling everyone I talk with and I'm advising them that they absolutely use the service."

Success! I actually signed up with JobsByFax for my boyfriend. After MONTHS of being rejected for pretty much everything, I had reached a point of desperation. He was looking to relocate, but jobs in his field are rare in this area. I signed up on September 29th and he started receiving calls the same day. As a result, yesterday he interviewed for a job he'd really enjoy(in his field) and was hired! It sure has made a believer out of me. I wish I had signed up when I first learned about the site. Thank You JobsByFax!

"I am a highly compensated upper/mid level manager. I received some disturbing news about my employment forty days ago and immediately put my resume on the street with JobsByFax. I had to leave my job immediately as I had so many interviews that time did not allow for work. Yesterday, I received a VP of Operations position with a public company. On the same day, I had to turn down three substantial offers. I have never seen such a quality response to my resume as what has happened in the last forty days. Even though I had sent my resume to employment agents and as direct answers to advertisements, every offer I received was not advertised through normal means. They were a direct result of your service. I was just in the right place at the right time because of JobsByFax. I will not hesitate to recommend your services to others. Thank you for assisting in a successful job search."

"Thank you, thank you, and thank you again. I was told by a friend to use your service when I was laid off in May 2006. I thought I wouldn't have a problem getting another job. Several months went by and I still was unsuccessful in obtaining a job. I did all that I could do to locate a job: networking, newspapers, online, and career fairs. I had no success. One night I thought to myself, "I have to do something different in order to get a different result." Then I remembered your service, so one Thursday at midnight I purchased your service. By Friday at 11:00am I started getting calls for interviews. Four days and 5 interviews later I finally received the prefect job for me. I wish I had done this much earlier in my search. I'm telling everyone I know about your service. Again, thank you. It's a great service to unemployed and the under employed."

"I wanted to thank you for your service. I was very skeptical when I heard about your company through Career Jimmy. I thought, "What the heck. For only $100 I can reach about 1,000 companies." I submitted my resume in April of 2005. I received a lot of responses though they were not all applicable jobs to my experience. I also like the fact that you allow resubmissions if the first time around didn't work.

However, a few months later, October of 2005, I got a call for an interview for a position at a biomedical company which was a great opportunity. Then I started two months later! I have been there for over nine months and I love my job.

Thanks again for your help."

"I just wanted to tell you about my experience with your service.

I was, like many other job seekers, becoming very disappointed in my job search. I did the Monster, Job.com, and countless other web based job search engines with little to no response. I was very suspicious of JobsByFax. But, I figured what did I have to lose, except $123.00. I did the suggested cover letter, and attached my resume, and waited. After three days I've received 23 calls on an initial sending of 1076 faxes...this is unbelievable.

I'm happy to say, I've just been offered an ideal job. I'm taking it, and I know both my new company, and I will be pleased.

I just want to say, thank you. Your company is the only one I've found that does what it says it will do for job seekers. I've already recommended your company to several people, and will continue to do so."

"JobsByFax is the best investment I ever made. I have recommended you to several of my friends who also got jobs. I like it because your resume shows up on a desk at the time a decision maker is looking for someone. It is not prescreened. I got my job because the company saw my background and decided to grow their business by hiring a sales manager. I did not "compete" against 100 other guys."

Father and Son Success!

"Jen and Matt,

Just like thousands of other downsized middle-aged managers, I was having a terrible time getting noticed by prospective employers much less getting interview opportunities. The job boards like Monster, Hotjobs and CareerBuilder got me perhaps a half dozen responses and two interviews in over one year's constant e-mails applying for hundreds of positions. Jobsbyfax produced calls and interviews right from the start and while it took five more months, 3 more blasts and close to 6000 faxes I finally landed a challenging position within a strong American division of a large multi-national corporation. Your guarantee of standing by me at no extra cost after the first blast until I got a job was absolutely solid gold. This is more than just uncommon in the jobs business - it's singular and fantastic.

Only a month after I went back to work in August my 23 year old son found himself out of work and frustrated by the same job boards and the employment market in general. So we updated his resume and produced an appealing one page intro letter based on that of one of your previously successful clients. We faxed to just a few over 1000 companies expecting he might take as long as I to generate the right opportunity and might need to blast one or two more times. Well, he began receiving calls for interviews the same day the first faxes went out and begins his new job tomorrow. Both of us, by the way, got great new opportunities working for companies in industries we probably would never have thought to investigate. But that's another of the beauties of jobsbyfax along with the unveiling of jobs not even advertised yet. The faxes got delivered to decision makers who sometimes even admitted that they hadn't considered hiring until the fax hit their desks.

Jobsbyfax, you are unique!"

"I landed the BEST JOB EVER, and all because of the help I received on my cover letter from your website. I am an Interior Designer now working for an Architectural firm. Like all industries, the Design industry uses many different computer programs. I did not know the program used in the office I was hired to work for. They NEVER hire people without experience and knowledge of this particular program, but they were so impressed with my cover letter that they asked me in for an interview. I agreed to learn the specific computer program and landed the job! I received 7 calls the day after you sent my resume, to date about 20 and counting, and 14 e-mails, about 40 and counting to date. It's been three months since I used your services, and I am still receiving calls! I've also received about 50 mailed letters. They were not all for interviews, but they were all job prospects. Thank you very much for helping me out, I really appreciate it."

"Thank you so much JobsByFax and Matt Saunders for helping me with the little technical issues. The first week I had no response, and I was a little more skeptical about this approach than I was previously. However the following week I had about 40 to 50 responses, some by email, a small percentage by phone. Although, there was no opportunities at the time several companies liked my resume and wanted to keep it for future opportunities. Some companies even referred me to other companies that might be hiring. I was a little amazed, however I did not land a position yet. Then the mail started to flow in. I got hundreds of mail sent to my address, although most stated they didn't have an opportunity for me or not in my field. I was a little disappointed by the end of the month. I wrote Matt back and asked him about the guarantee for re-faxing my resume and cover letter. He gave me a new code and I re-faxed my resume and cover letter. Same thing. First week nothing. Following the second week tons of replies. Within those 3,000 or so companies, one called me back and was very impressed with my credentials and wanted to meet me. I didn't think I had a chance since I knew very little about the organization. However, I went in for the initial interview, and did an outstanding job. I was later called for the second interview and now I will be starting on June 1st. The amazing thing was that my resume had come in way late, but by fax so it got to the hiring managers desk. I was the last candidate, and they had already picked the final 3 candidates. My resume and cover letter just came in at the last second, and upon review was good enough to elicit interest. I just want to let everyone know that JobsByFax will get your foot in the door, if you research and proof your resume and cover letter to be attractive, professional, and truthful. Don't give up especially in this economy we are experiencing. Do the homework, dot every "i" and cross every "t," and most importantly practice the interview with someone or with yourself. JobsByFax will work, and is better than the online job posting sites. Once again, Thank You."

"I felt compelled to write you this letter. I lost my last position on April 22, 2004 due to management layoffs. It is not often in this high tech world that a service really delivers what they say they do. I have paid over and over again for a service that sends out my resume via e-mail to many recruiters and companies with very little or no results at all. What a waste of money on my part. Then I found your service and I was still skeptical, but thought I would give it a try. First, let me say that my career skills are very specialized and only in demand by a few companies. On my first try with your service I received about 10 phone calls and two interviews. I did receive one job offer but turned it down because I did not like the company. The results were outstanding so I thought I would try a second time sending my resume to a different set of companies. Well I have to tell you this worked great! I have landed a position at a major company with a great benefits package and 30K more then I was seeking. I am now making over 100K a year. I did not use your service until the last three weeks or so and got a great response! Your company put me in touch with the people I needed to sell myself to."

"I was so pleased with your service. I got immediate response and have already told my friends, other job seekers and professional coaches about the services effectiveness. I spent a year with barely a nibble on my resume and in one day I had 8 interviews that led to an excellent position. What really makes your service different is my resume was one that needed to be READ and looking back is not an internet resume. THANK YOU…"

"I must say, the response I have gotten in the last 2 days has been AMAZING! I had an interview this morning, but the job only pays about $40,000, but there is an interview tomorrow that looks more encouraging. Thank you again for everything!"

"I ordered the service and must say that I'm overwhelmed…

I was a Recruiter, HR rep and Recruiting Consultant for many years before getting laid off in 2001. I got into the mortgage business hoping at some point to find the right spot back in my profession, but haven't been able to generate enough interviews to do so. It's been very disheartening. When I was recruiting, I can remember telling people that faxing a resume all over town was a bad idea. Boy was I WRONG! With the economy coming back, hiring taking off, and recruiting departments well understaffed, this is the right tool at the right time for those who want to get noticed!

I paid for 1960 resume faxes, and in the first week I had well over 60 responses. Many of them were emails, calls or company form rejection letters or postcards, but after 3 years of searching in the black hole of the job boards, it was a relief to get even those!

I also had phone calls from 2 employers with whom I had applied on their job site, but couldn't seem to get through for jobs that looked perfectly suited for me.

I got 9 interviews in two weeks, and am going back for seconds on 3 of them. I feel such a relief to have activity for positions that will pay me what I'm worth, to do things I'm capable of doing. Best of all, I know that very soon mortgages will be a nice little side business for me and my wife, but that I won't have to play the 100% commission game any more, or commit to learning and executing skills (sales) that I can perform, but am not hard-wired for.

Thank you for staying after me to try this - I've already referred you to 3 friends I know that are looking as a method that produces results, fast. I'll let you know when I'm employed!"

"I hadn't worked regularly in months. I was out looking for work, but nobody seemed to be hiring. On my own I had mailed, e-mailed or delivered in person maybe a hundred resumes. I received some mild interest, but mostly rejection letters and no followup to speak of. I had bills piling up and I thought I was heading for disaster. I was going nowhere fast.Until, that is, I found out about JobsByFax and everything changed.

JobsByFax is simply the best work-referral service I've ever encountered.

Within a week, one week, of having my cover letter and resume faxed to hundreds of potential employers, I received more than 70 inquiries! Three of those led to firm offers.

What I really like about JobsByFax is that it puts the job hunter in charge. You target the industries and business of your choice and you pick the region of the country your resume and letter will be sent to. It's a terrific feeling to know that your work history and skills set are going to be seen by hundreds, maybe thousands of eyes.

Investing in JobsByFax was one of the best decisions I ever made. I couldn't be more pleased with the result. Thank you, Matt Saunders. You've come up with a brilliant idea that is going to help many, many people."

"Well JobsByFax worked. I started with on the 28th of October and I started with a new company on the 29th of November. Boy did I receive calls in my first week I recorded 67 different companies calling on what we sent out by fax, and the calls continued. I narrowed the opportunities to 3 and finally made my choice."

"I just wanted to say thank you!!! I wish I would have known about your program a year ago. I have been searching for a job for the last 8 months and I was really having a hard time. I came across your web page and decided to check it out. I am sure glad I did. I was skeptical at first about the program but thought I would try it. WOW! I had 20 to 30 calls a day from companies. I could not believe it. I had to pick and choose who I wanted to interview with and I got a job within a week. What a great program. Thanks again!!"

"In less than 72 hours I have landed interviews with some of the most esteemed environmental consulting firms in my area. Based on my entry-level status, I never thought it possible to be even considered by these companies, much less to have the ability to move 2,000 miles BACK to where my family is. Thank you. I have landed 5 interviews in less than 72 hours with my initial fax transmission. I am now relocating near my family on Tuesday. Thank you. You have taken me from a position of weakness to a position of choice. The networking contacts and correspondence I have experienced as a result of your service was worth twenty times the initial investment, if not more."

"I got my dream job! The guidelines on your site about the cover letter helped me to get the attention I wanted. In addition, I re-read "What Color is Your Parachute" and that allowed me to focus on what is truly important to me. I love my work, my new boss, my co-workers, the location and everything else. And the salary negotiations also worked! I am spreading the word, Jobs-by-Fax is the answer! I got my first call from the president of the exact kind of organization I wanted to work for at 7:15am, less than 12 hours after I had signed on with jobsbyfax. He apologized if he was waking me up!!! He said his communications person has just resigned and he wanted to see me that day. He was as excited about seeing me as I was about seeing him! God bless you folks!!"
