To summarize: 1. Setting clear objectives and expectations for employers and yourself. What are your employers looking for in a successful intern? Don’t just assume. 2. Check in weekly with your supervisor. 3. Ask questions! Try to solve the problem yourself at first, but ask questions if you get stuck. 4. Set up coffee chats with the people on your team. 5. Participate in company events! Professional, social, workshops, etc. 6. Set daily, weekly, and overall summer goals. Have a to-do list for your summer. (time will fly, own your time!) 7. Be open to criticism, show a growth mindset. 8. Show your enthusiasm! Positive mindset! 9. Identify what you don’t like about the internship. 10. Aim to get a return offer! +1 I would also add researching the people you’re working with so that you are well-versed in who’s who. Being prepared beforehand makes networking so much easier. Thank you for this video!
I've started internship already for a month now and i am still questioning what should i do for the next move, my performances, and what i did is it enough or what? And i think ur video is very helpfull🙏
This is so helpful. Thank you so much! I am all about the details, so it would be great if you did another vid about your detailed advice ;) pretty sure it’s gonna help many.
Hey , this is really helpful, thank you very much , I am about to start internship after one week holiday and I am bit worry about if I will be able to preform well and I still not sure what expectation they have on me in this intern, and I want to write a email to manger ask about what this concern before even start the internship so that I can best prepare my self before start , what do you think ?
I hate being the only intern at my department. My manager has a quite free vibe on the rest of the employees meaning ppl do things their own way. This means, as an intern, I’m getting shxt from everyone for doing sth in ways that others have taught me. Also, strict rules only apply to interns so when I do things the way my supervisors do them, I get shxt from my manager.
Thank you for making this video. You're like a mentor! I'm going to an interview for an internship tomorrow and I hope it goes well. I don't feel 100% prepared, but I feel more prepared for the internship itself now and I know some questions to ask in the interview. I just need to study some interview tips. I'm not sure if I will get this internship, but I hope so! If I did mock interviews and more preparation, I could feel more confident going into this interview, but I did do a real interview a few weeks ago. I didn't get that internship, but I still learned from doing that interview what I would expect. There were probably a lot of factors leading to who they choose for the internship. The last place I interviewed at is my college and they were looking for one student. They prioritize people who are graduating sooner. Maybe I didn't get the internship because I was nervous in the interview, or it was some other things outside my control like how I'm not graduating till next spring. I should stay positive because they can only accept one applicant and me not getting the internship doesn't mean that I did something wrong or I am not qualified. My friend reminded me I am smart and have the requirements for the internship and he says I will do fine.
Thank you for this video, started my internship three weeks ago and I've honestly felt lost. No communication with my manager on things I'm expected to do, often found myself dwindling on-site.

starting an internship next week and this was super helpful!

How do you ask for a coffee chat? In my company, what I noticed is that they would bring their coffee to the desk and have it while working.
doing an internship for winter break - this video was soo insightful and i’ll definitely keep these tips in mind! thank you so much!

may i ask did you made it for the internship? i know im a couple months late but still, kinda curious! haha
I have a question, were the people you worked with nice?
By "recruit" at 9:40, do you mean applying for more jobs at different companies?
