目标公司。如果你特别期望能在一家公司工作，可以查看一下它的招聘页面，其中可能会列出实习机会。费德里科建议：“如果目前尚没有什么机会，可以发一份简历和一封求职信，表达自己对未来潜在机会的兴趣。之后，要保持与人力资源部的联系。甚至可以考虑自己设计实习机会。雇主肯定会喜欢你的积极性，而且如果在暑假期间能多一个帮手，大部分公司都会表示欢迎。”

    如果你尝试过上述所有途径，却依然未能成功，或者你不想（像多数实习岗位一样）将整个暑假都花在没有报酬的临时工作上，又该怎么办？事实上，就算如此，也并非无路可走。美国大学与雇主协会（ National Association of Colleges and Employers）招聘信息经理安德里亚·孔茨说：“80%的雇主在审核应届毕业生的简历时，会寻找能证明领导能力的履历。此外，75%的招聘经理们则会注重求职者解决问题的能力。”

    所以，如果没有实习的机会，就要千方百计积累以上其中一个方面或者两方面的经验。贾森·莱文说：“暑假能当上救生员当然很好。但是，如果能管理一个救生员小分队就更好了。关键在于，这样可以证明，在课堂之外，你也可以承担起其他方面的责任。”

    此外，莱文还建议在校期间，想方设法参加由学校老师指导的调查或咨询项目。他说：“在大多数大学，教授与公司会经常进行合作。此外，还有由学生在校内创办的、针对校外公司的组织，学生们都可以积极参与。这方面的信息可以咨询校园就业中心或学生活动办公室。”

    莱文补充说：“或者，你也可以通过商业性的全国性兄弟会寻找机会，比如Delta Sigma Pi。”Delta Sigma Pi（对男性和女性均开放）于1907年成立于纽约大学（New York University），目前拥有300个地方分支机构，大约226,000名会员。其中肯定有一个分支机构能帮你找到一份兼职，让你在未来求职时吸引到潜在雇主的眼球。

    Target companies. If there's a particular company where you'd like to work, take a look at its career page, where internships might be listed. "If nothing seems to be available right now, send a resume and a cover letter expressing interest in potential future openings," Federico suggests. "Then follow up with human resources. You could even consider designing your own internship. Employers will love your initiative, and most companies would welcome an extra pair of hands during the summer."

    What if you try all that and strike out -- or if you just can't afford to spend the summer on an unpaid gig (as most internships are)? All is not lost. "Eight out of ten employers who review resumes of new college grads are looking for evidence of leadership skills," notes Andrea Koncz, employment information manager at the National Association of Colleges and Employers. "In addition, 75% of hiring managers are looking for problem-solving skills."

    So, in the absence of an internship, try to find ways to get experience with either or both. "Spending the summer as a lifeguard is fine," says Jason Levin. "Managing a team of lifeguards is even better. The point is to show that you can take responsibility for something beyond the classroom."

    Levin also recommends seeking out ways to contribute to a faculty-supervised research or consulting project during the school year. "At most universities, there are plenty of joint efforts between professors and businesses that you can get involved in, as well as student-run organizations on campuses that do assignments for companies," he says. "Ask your campus career center or student activities office for information on these.

    "Or you can find opportunities through national fraternities focused on business, like Delta Sigma Pi," Levin adds. Founded at New York University in 1907, Delta Sigma Pi (open to both men and women) now has 300 chapters with about 226,000 members. One of them may well be able to hook you up with part-time work that will catch a future employer's eye.
