Intern

Interns are office trainees or volunteers who support administration, sales and marketing teams with typing, filing, data entry, photocopying and graphic design. They receive on-the-job training and are often employed permanently at the end of their internship.

As an intern you could be answering the phone, photocopying reports, collecting the mail, designing a graphic for social media, or scheduling marketing emails. Being resourceful and willing to help out when things get frantic will improve your changes of securing a permanent role.
