Success Tips for Interns
Internships allow you to stay busy, gain
new skills and expand your network. Here are some workplace hints for
after you’ve landed a spot:
Be modest. If you have managed subordinates in the past, recognize that you’re there to learn.
Leave age out of it. Treat less experienced intern counterparts as equals to avoid brewing resentment.
Play
it cool. Don’t try to sell your ideas or ask about a regular, full-time job
until the internship is about to end - and only if it’s gone well.
