It's hard to get an internship,World Of Single Jaye but it's even harder to know whether that internship has a chance of becoming a job. Unless you're in an industry where post-internship employment is virtually guaranteed, it's pretty much anyone's guess.

LinkedIn analyzed the profiles of students who landed full-time jobs after summer internships to find out which industries have the most long-term promise for interns.

In-demand skills like accounting and engineering most often led to employment, but other fields like retail made a strong showing for entry-level hiring too.

LinkedIn also found that March was the best month to apply to a summer internship. That's when applications spiked and when the chances of getting an internship peaked.

"In today’s competitive job market it’s hard to land a full-time job right out of college, but getting an internship can give you the experience needed to get an edge in your future job search," LinkedIn said.
