Make The Most Out Of Your Internships

By Lydia Staber

Finding an internship in itself is challenging, and that is why I have created a bunch of blog posts to help you in your search and preparation.

But, what happens when you score the internship besides doing a happy jig and calling mom?

A lot of how-to guides stop at obtaining the internship, but Handshake is here to walk you through the during and the after.

Here is a blog from Handshake on how to make the most out of your internships.

Tips For Success!

  • Don’t be afraid to ask for more work. Supervisors and employers love people who take the initiative.
  • Make sure to build relationships and connections at your internships.
  • Keep in touch with your supervisor after your internship ends to maintain a relationship for future letters of recommendation.
  • Follow your gut- If the internship wasn’t all you thought it would be, it’s okay to explore different career plans and options. The internship wasn’t a waste of time, trust me.
