Tips for Interns

Tips for Interns


1. Talk with co-workers and supervisors

This will assist you in getting a better insight into the company as well as into the possible growth areas.


2. Ask for things to do

Do not wait to be asked to undertake a task. Ask what you can do to assist someone else or take the initiative to look for or offer a solution to an existing problem.

3. Learn about the industry

Browse the Net, talk to colleagues, clients and vendors. Find out more about the industry of which you have become a part.

4. Be informed - read everything you can

Read trade publications, letters, contracts, case studies – anything that will inform you about the different facets of the business that the company is involved in.

5. Remember no job is insignificant

Each task fits into the picture somehow and is important to the overall scenario. Do whatever is assigned to you keeping this in mind.


6. Attend meetings, seminars, conferences and events

There is always a lot to learn. Be hungry for knowledge

7. Build relationships

Make sure that whoever you come into contact with is left with a positive impression of you and your abilities. You never know when you may come into contact again along your career path.
