As a college student interning in a big business, making a name for yourself may seem like an impossible task. Even though you are interning, you still need to be remembered and leave a good impact on the company. The first day of an internship is extremely nerve-wracking, but staying positive and displaying that positivity will make a good impression on your peers. Keeping positive throughout the internship is also important. People want to work around people who are optimistic about what they are doing. In addition always give 100% in whatever task, big or small, you are given.
You may need to ask questions, but always give a valiant effort first. This will create a trust from your peers that you will always give your best. Most importantly, always be thinking what you can do to better the company. Don’t always wait to be told what to do, offer suggestions to help. Internships not only teach you important lessons you will always remember, but it also has the opportunity to make a name for yourself. If the company you intern with enjoyed having you around, its recommendation can take you far.
