Student and Intern Responsibilities
U.S. Jobs Available While You Study! The following is each enrolled student/intern's responsibility:
Have excellent spoken English
For schools, English is vital in order to understand the material you are learning. For U.S. based companies, time is money. Whenever a new employee is hired it is imperative that the new person has excellent language skills. Because the companies are paying their managers so much to train new employees, they have zero tolerance for an employee who cannot understand what is being said by the managers, or who speaks to the managers and cannot be understood clearly. For those who do not have proficient English, they will need to take ESL classes.
Proficiency in skills claimed by the student
It is also necessary that intern candidates have the skills needed by the companies who want to hire them. We have discovered that it is not enough for the students to state that they have experience in certain skills--rather, they must demonstrate a high degree of proficiency in those skills.
As with the need for good English skills (as explained above), there is need for new employees to have business or computer skills so that the high level managers do not also have to spend so much time in training them for their tasks. Thus, a company that agrees to an interview with one of the intern students may test him/her by extensive questioning during a personal interview and by use of a computer-generated test. Those who do not show high proficiency may not be hired.
