Making most of my intern

1.       Tackle all tasks with enthusiasm and positive attitude: I think this is most important because showing enthusiasm to any job you is assigned can get you the job. Showing your supervisor no job is too little can help you land the job. I will try to take each task with the same importance whatever the task is.

2.       Set personal goals: For me having personal goals is key because you want to get the most out of the experience of an intern and incorporate it in other jobs. I will set weekly goals in my notebook and as well as monthly goals and check them end of the month and week.

3.       Have regular meetings with your supervisors: This is important because you want to have a good communication between your supervisors. Accept the growth areas your supervisor gives you and do your best to work on them. Make an appointment once a week preferable Fridays and check in with them on how I did.

4.       Get as much exposer as possible: This is important because you want to meet new people and grow in the company, when you do that you will show off your skills to everyone. I am going to take on task and tasks to get the most of the internship. Try and build a good relationship with everyone and take on new tasks if presented.

5.       Network, network, and network: Build relationships with coworkers can help you land a job after if the intern doesn’t work out.  I am going to create a dice and linked in profile and interact with coworkers as well as in the work place.

6.       Enjoy Yourself: I ranked this in the middle because you don’t want to be a robot and get nothing out of it if you’re not enjoying it. I am going to come to work with a smile and leave work with a smile and feel good about it.

7.       Take enactive: It’s important because you want to always think outside the box but make sure it’s the right time and working with your supervisor always helps. I am going to try to bring new ideas to the company but know when it’s the right time to do so.

8.       Leave with tangible accomplishments: Writing down everything is important so you can use it in your resume and know what you did for your own records. I will bring a pen and notebook to write in everyday to work to try to accomplish that task

9.       Never shun to learn more about the company: I don’t think it is as important as others but if you do learn about the company a bit and your supervisors see that, it will give you a good thumbs up. Will show you are interested in the company. I will attend as many meeting as I can as well as conferences.

10.    Find a Mentor: I believe you should do the work on your own but if needed it is good to have a mentor to go to if help needed. I will try to reach out to someone that has experience in the company that can show me the ropes.

11.   Avoiding negativity: I should have put it lower on the list but I believe if you are positive things will work it out. You want to arrive early every day and not have a negative attitude.  I will dress accordantly to work and be positive every day. Arriving on time is a big deal to me so I will be early every day.

12.   Don’t be afraid to ask questions: I believe asking questions are a good thing but I believe finding it out by yourself would be better. Of course asking questions of your supervisor will increase your communications with him or her. I will try to ask as many questions as I can but limit them at the same time.
