Advice for Future Interns
Enjoy every minute.
You will meet people who could become lifelong friends, even if you never work together again. Networking and building real connections are a key part of the internship.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Especially from your buddy, who was in your shoes not long ago. Introduce yourself early, and don’t hesitate to reach out. Many associates are happy to answer questions, no matter how small. If you think someone else on your project can help, just ask.
Be yourself.
You are not expected to know everything, or even anything. What matters most is your enthusiasm and willingness to learn. Interns come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, and there is no specific checklist of knowledge you need before joining. Authenticity is a powerful quality. One of the best parts of the experience is meeting different people from all over the country.
A positive attitude, a sense of humour, and a strong work ethic will take you far. If you move to a new city for an internship, like I did, make the most of it. It is a great chance to bond with others, explore your surroundings, and fully immerse yourself in the experience. Spend your evenings getting to know people on a personal level and enjoying what the new area has to offer.
