Foreword
There are lots of interns in the Philippines who are absorb by the company and
get a job instantly start their career the way they want to. These people are wise enough
to be very clear about what they want to get out of their OJT and so they were able to
find exactly what they were looking for. No one wants to put on office attire, commute an
hour to get to the office and only to make sure that the coffee is made and all the files
are stapled to perfection.
College students, especially those who are taking their internships have a lot to
offer, and no one wants an internship that is menial or boring. As much as possible, they
want to be able to use everything they learned in school and apply it to a real job a
chance to test the waters, if you must say.
So if you want to make sure that your internship is going to give you the
experience you are looking for, a jump start of your career as early as now from finding
the right jobs in the Philippines, to make it sure that you have to stick to it.
