Makin the most out of my internship

1.  Avoid negativity complaining and disrespect-  Before I even start you have to make sure I don’t disrespect anyone or complain about anything because if I do, you will go no further.
2. Tackle all tasks with enthusiasm and a positive attitude-This goes hand in hand with no complaining because if I complain I will develop a  bad reputation and bring the mood down of the corporation which will lower your chances of me being hired after my internship.
3. Set personal goals- Set personal goals so I know exactly where I am going with my career and establish what specific field or traits I want to learn and develop during my internship.
   
4. Take initiative- Take initiative and show how appreciative I am to be there and how eager I am to receive more work and how bad I really want to contribute to the company.
   
5. Don't be afraid to ask questions- Don't be afraid to ask questions because if I don't ask questions I'll never learn as much as I possibly can. Nobody knows everything and this will help me maximize my experience at my internship.
   
6. Networking- Networking is a key trait I want to utilize at my internship because it opens up many doors and I'll never know where I can be because I chose to network efficiently. Sometimes its not what you know its who you know the rest you can learn on the job.
   
7. Gain exposure- Gain exposure to get a better understanding of the company and by knowing how everything operates will be very beneficial. Even if I learn a field that I have no interest in. By knowing many fields it will make me more valuable to the company and increase my chances of getting hired.
   
8. Leave with tangible accomplishments- Make sure I make many accomplishments at my internship and accomplishments that make a difference and I need to write them down so I know exactly I did so I can explain to a future employer.
   
9. Have regular meetings with my supervisor- I need to have a regular meeting with my supervisor to receive feedback and know where I'm not doing so well and I can work on them and truly grow
   
10. Find a mentor- Find a mentor so I can learn a lot about the company and it is also a good chance to network with people I haven't already met because my mentor will open up a lot of doors
11. Enjoy yourself- I have to have fun at my internship and enjoy it. I don't want to be uptight, I want to have fun while doing all my work
    
12. Learn from workshops and colleagues- Learning from colleagues and attending trainings and workshops to truly get the most out of my internship
