Making the Utmost of your Internship(s)

1. 1.      Avoid Negativity.

   2.      Never shun a chance to learn more about the company/industry.
   o Never seem  tired in a meeting/presentation of the company because that will leave a bad impression on the colleagues you work with. Since you’re the intern in the office you should always want to look engaged in any conversation that’s work related because you never know what information you could be missing out on if you’re not paying attention or just not being an active listener.

   7.      Network, Network, Network.
   o I will build professional relationships with the colleagues I work with to overall expand my network. I will make the best out of each experience with the groups I work in to ensure I don't burn any bridges because one day it could come back and hurt me.
