Top Internship Tips
- It is a good idea to agree upon your job responsibilities with your employer and get this in writing.
- Ask lots of questions! You are not expected to know what is going on right away, but the faster you learn the ins and outs of daily life on the job, the better off you'll be.
- Meet regularly with your supervisor to ensure that both of your expectations are being met. This is a good way for you to get feedback on your performance.
- First impressions are very important, as is maintaining good ones. It is important for you to dress, speak, write, and generally behave like a professional.
- Be observant and ask questions about appropriate behavior at the work place. Different organizations have different expectations regarding employee behavior.
- Focus on your communication skills, both written and verbal. Proofread your written work carefully. When communicating with your coworkers be respectful as well as professional.
- Show up to work on time, when you are expected. Call if you are going to be sick or late but choose your sick days with care; it will be noticed if you are not at work on important days.
- Establish good relationships with your coworkers. Be friendly and polite. It's good to talk with your coworkers and get to know them as well.
- Be easy to work with. Accept assignments without complaint, ask for more work when assignments are completed, and turn out good quality work.
- When you leave, be sure to ask your supervisor for a letter of recommendation and keep in touch so that you can call upon him/her later when you are in need of a reference.
