Making the Most of Your Internship

Now that you have survived a competitive recruiting process and landed an internship in the field of your choice, your tendency might be to lean back and enjoy the ride. Nothing could be more certain to result in a disappointing experience for both you and your employer. While your role as an intern can be strictly or loosely defined, you should arrive at the doorstep of your internship with the attitude that you alone are responsible for making your internship an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Below are tips on how you can capitalize on your experience and make the most of your internship.

Set Goals:

Before you accepted your internship you hopefully investigated the kind of work you would be doing and clarified your employer's expectations. With this information, you should set goals about what you hope to leave your internship having learned or done. Share your ambitions with the person or persons monitoring your work and monitor your progress toward this goal throughout your internship.

Immerse Yourself:

Learn as much as you can about the industry or organization with which you are working. Read trade journals, interact with people in different departments, and throw yourself into your assignments. Go above and beyond the call of duty.
