set obtainable goals based on your aspirations and the employer’s needs – What do you hope to get out of an internship?
What do you need to do in order to make sure that you accomplish your goals? This provides you with motivation during the internship, and allows you to draw connections between it, your academic coursework, and your future career interests.
Be sure to communicate with your supervisor and ask for what you need – Ask questions when you have them and clarification when you need it. Update your supervisor on progress you make or roadblocks you run into, and communicate regularly with him/her.
Show interest in the work you are doing, and how it contributes to the overall organization.
Measure your progress and document your work – Make notes for yourself as you go as to projects you are involved with, and keep copies of your work. Refer regularly back to the goals you set at the beginning of the internship to determine which you are meeting, and which need more work.
Be professional, positive and productive – Arrive at your internship on time, dressed in clothes appropriate for the setting. Don’t take or make personal calls or check personal email, except on lunch break if approved by your organization. Be a positive and friendly presence in the office.
Challenge yourself, but don’t overextend – While it is understandable that you want to ‘show what you can do’ in an internship, one way to have an unsatisfactory experience is to get yourself involved in so many tasks or projects that you aren’t able to complete them with quality results.
Do your best work and learn from the experience – Most employers look at internships as a mutually beneficial experience. Do the same for yourself – be sure that you are taking something from the internship, and consciously developing skills, while also working hard to advance the mission and work of the organization for which you are interning.
