Review the job description and goals, research the company, follow them
on social media, and connect with your manager. Also, refresh your skills
with common workplace technologies and get first-day/week instructions.
Initiate regular 1:1 meetings with your supervisor and your team to discuss
internship goals, career aspirations, and openly communicate progress,
challenges, and potential solutions.
Document all tasks you handle, track your progress, review your
achievements with your supervisor, and reflect on your experiences to
shape your ideal career path.
Feedback, whether positive or negative, shows that colleagues and supervisors
care and notice your work, so graciously accept and clarify constructive
criticism, learn from mistakes, and demonstrate growth by turning feedback
into action.
Take Charge of Your Experience
Complete assigned tasks well, but also volunteer for additional projects and
assist team members to stand out, share insights and engage in meaningful
conversations, while ensuring you’ve mastered your current responsibilities
before taking on more.
