Most interns are well into their summer internships by now — and those who have already graduated from college are starting to wonder if the gig is going to turn into a full-time job.
Ryan Kahn, a career coach, founder of The Hired Group, star of MTV's "Hired" and author of "How To Get Hired," says it's important for interns to "start looking for signs of a job offer now so that they can strategize their next move, whether it's internally or externally."
Here are 12 signs your internship may not result in a full-time offer — and what to do about it:

Neither of you have expressed interest in you staying
If you haven't told your manager how much you enjoy working there — and how much you'd love to stay on as a full-time employee and continue contributing to the team — maybe it's a sign you don't really want to stay. Your manager will pick up on this, and probably won't offer a job to someone who doesn't seem interested.
If you do bring it up, but your manager doesn't seem enthusiastic or optimistic about it, this isn't a great sign.
You responsibilities haven't changed
When a company plans on offering an intern a job, they often start transitioning them during the internship.
"The more responsibility they give you shows that they are happy with your work and ready for you to grow in your role," says Kahn.
If your workload never seems to increase, you may want to start looking for full-time employment elsewhere.
Your boss isn't introducing you to others
It's not a great sign if your boss and colleagues aren't introducing you to clients and executives within the organization, as that shows they might not yet see you as a long-term member of the team, says Kahn.
