Cerami & Associates, Inc.’s Post

To all firms hiring Summer Associates and Interns Your summer employees are in a unique position to learn about their soon to be realized career and your firm. And, there is an additional way to provide them with a valuable benefit--and benefit your firm, too. We have developed a program focused directly on summer employees (regardless of what type of firm) that allows them to learn valuable elements of practice that complement what they learn from their jobs. They need to understand the marketplace, competition, differentiation and how to effectively message, develop a strategic plan, networking and more. It is covered once each week for an hour over a six-week period. While it enables them to gain essential knowledge and insight versus those who have not been exposed to these topics, it provides benefit to your firm as well. It demonstrates the firm's investment in them and can more easily connect you to those you ultimately want to retain. Please let me know if we can discuss. #summer associates/interns #business development #marketing strategy #professional services

Happy Interns Day! I spoke with one of my clients about the interns she has working with her this summer and she told me about a question she asked each of them recently. She asked each of them what they hadn't worked on yet but wanted to before the end of the summer. I think this is such an important thing to find out. Remember, you have the ability to help a young person determine their future path right now. Talk to your interns. Ask questions. Find out what they love and don't love. You never know, you may be talking to your future best employee. #internsday #edistoconsultinggroup #nowhiring

To those who have begun the search for summer interns, this is one of the first things I plan to share with my interns: I will scrutinize your work a lot harder than I would for an employee, because my goal is not to just get it done. My goal is to provide you an experience that makes you the best possible person at it. You will most likely get twice the criticism and accolades you would if you were a paid employee. That will taper off as you get better, but only as you get better.  You will also be provided a list of the skills you acquire and how to articulate them on your resume when you apply.
