Advice To New Interns

The best advice I can give to a new intern is to take action. Your supervisor wants someone who is interested. An internship should be a collaborative experience where you think of projects for yourself to do and not just listen to what your supervisor has to say. Because most internships are unpaid, you only get out of it what you really make of it, so stay interested!

Always be courteous and business-like, because wherever you intern know that these people are having you here as a favor. Always stay on top of things and don't let yourself get bored doing a tedious job. There may be tedious jobs to do in your internship, but while you do those think of other more exciting projects to do.

But the bottom line is, you must still think of this as a real job: dress appropriately, arrive on time, be helpful, and have fun!
