LET'S GET YOU HIRED! UTILISING YOUR INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE
Making an Impression as an Intern You’ve finally received an offer letter from a company after applying to many places. The next step is ensuring that you stand out as an intern to make the best out of your internship.
Y
ou will definitely feel excited and nervous before starting your internship. There might be a lot of questions running through your mind: will I be able to perform my best as an intern? Will I be able to fulfil my own learning goals during the internship? If you have already made up your mind on the company, here are some useful tips to create a good impression of yourself as an intern.
Show your
COMMITMENT Commitment is an important ingredient in being an excellent intern. It shows how serious you are about the role. Show your bosses that you are interested in the tasks and projects assigned to you by doing them well and on time. By keeping up with your excellent work and deadlines, your bosses would be impressed and might even turn your internship into a full-time job. This would definitely require you to prove to your bosses that you have a track record of excellent work since the day you started. Seeking feedback on the work you have completed is a way to know what to improve on and what can be better presented. For instance, as a visual designer intern, you might get feedback to further improve on the colours and layout of a product so it is more visually appealing to clients. That way, you get to tap on areas that need improvement to produce quality work. Sometimes, commitment may also include working overtime, especially when preparing for an event or meeting deadlines. At times, you may also be required to work during weekends, too. But remember, your plans can be adjusted if you plan well and work efficiently.
