Creating A Healthy Internship

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Getting an internship can be hard and time consuming, but once you find one you need to make sure that you are a good intern. I have done three internships and there are a few key things I have learned from them. First, everywhere I have interned people are more than happy to help you learn new things once. After about one time they usually expect you to know how to complete the process. It might seem elementary, but taking notes your first day of training is not a bad idea.

In addition to learning quickly, if you want to get the most out of your internship and you want to be a great intern, be proactive and ask if there is anything you can do to help. Not only will you learn more, but also the office staff will begin to trust you with more and more. Always go above expectations as well. It may seem obvious, but a lot of times interns just show up and wait for people to ask them to do something. Being a successful intern requires more than intellectual capabilities; it requires you to learn quickly, be proactive, and go above expectations.

Make It A Healthy Interview

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Interviewing is not something that comes naturally to most people. It is hard to know when to brag about yourself and when to limit it. Also, everyone wants to be original when they are interviewed, but you do not want to come across as weird or awkward. One thing I have started to do the past few years is make a database of all the questions I have been asked and what my response was. This way I have in the back of my head a lot of answers to general interview questions you get everywhere like “What is your biggest weakness?”

Another thing I have learned is that sarcasm can ruin an interview; it should be avoided unless you make it very clear you are being sarcastic. You do not want to come across as cocky or have someone interpret your answer the wrong way. In addition, it is always better to be proud of your accomplishments and be happy to talk about them then to not talk about them for fear of being viewed as arrogant or an overachiever. An interview is the one place where you should always talk yourself up. Do not leave anything unsaid if you think it will help you get the job or whatever it may be. The people interviewing you want to know what you can do for them.
