margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" ></div><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In search of internship advice? First of all, congrats on landing a position! Sometimes, securing a spot can be the most challenging part. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, you may feel intimidated entering a professional workplace and understanding your role. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">But with the right attitude and some organization and planning, your internship can bring you closer to achieving your career goals. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">L</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">et’s explore four strategies to rock your internship and set you up for career success. </span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Have a Positive Attitude and Stay Open-minded</span></h2> <p><img decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" class="alignnone size-medium" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExOHhyZjlyeWZubnQ3MnNmbGVvMm1qeTRwZGhndzR6dGdkdTJmN2U2diZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/H41e5Gu0EPobGSbbg4/giphy-downsized-large.gif" alt="internship" width="480" height="480" /></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To begin, you may have the opportunity to take on a new project, give a presentation, or build connections with clients. Even if these tasks aren’t what you aim to do in the long run, they can help you develop diverse skills. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Similarly, make sure to take your internship seriously. Treat it like a job by showing up on time, delivering what you promise, and being respectful. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Further, successful internships can turn into paid jobs. At a minimum, you want an excellent future reference from your supervisor. Take the initiative to understand what your employer expects from you, and always keep busy. </span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keep a Journal of Your Learning Goals and Achievements</span></h2> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/GXZVx7kiFQ1IuZpB8o/giphy.gif" width="480" height="480" title="" alt="" /></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Secondly, keeping a journal throughout your internship can help you remember what you have learned and accomplished. This can also be helpful when writing resumes/cover letters and interviewing for jobs.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition, it’s important to set goals and break them down into actionable steps. Share them with your supervisor and co-workers, too. Regularly re-assess and get feedback on what you are doing well and how to improve. </span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Build Connections</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thirdly, internships are a great way to meet people already established in your field. Building and maintaining professional relationships is a key skill to remain competitive in today’s job market. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">To begin, learn about the company before you have even stepped foot in the door. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once there, ask if you can job shadow a few people within the organization to learn about various roles. You might also find someone who can mentor you. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, don’t forget to thank anyone who helped you during your internship. Treating someone to coffee or sending a thank you note can go a long way. </span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learn What You Want (or Don’t Want!) In a Job</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To summarize, internships can be both rewarding and challenging at times. Make the most of the experience by taking it as an opportunity to learn more about yourself, your preferences, and your needs as an employee.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Equally important is learning to speak up for yourself and advocating for your learning needs. Internships are more than just grabbing coffee for the office; you’re trading your time and energy for a valuable learning experience.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Conclusion</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To conclude, starting an internship can be intimidating – but it’s also an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in your chosen field, gain valuable work experience, and build professional connections. Following these straightforward strategies can help you ensure success at your internship and develop valuable skills for your future career. </span></p> <hr /> <h3>Explore more articles on our <a href="https://incubator.talentegg.ca/">Incubator</a> and visit <a href="https://talentegg.ca/">TalentEgg.ca</a> to get started on your job search!</h3>  <div class="pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper pp-multiple-authors-wrapper pp-multiple-authors-layout-boxed multiple-authors-target-the-content box-post-id-94739 box-instance-id-1 ppma_boxes_94739" data-post_id="94739" data-instance_id="1" data-additional_class="pp-multiple-authors-layout-boxed.multiple-authors-target-the-content" data-original_class="pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper pp-multiple-authors-wrapper box-post-id-94739 box-instance-id-1"> <h2 class="widget-title box-header-title">Author</h2> <span class="ppma-layout-prefix"></span> <div class="ppma-author-category-wrap"> <span class="ppma-category-group ppma-category-group- category-index-0"> <ul class="pp-multiple-authors-boxes-ul author-ul-0"> <li class="pp-multiple-authors-boxes-li author_index_0 author_lindsaymeister has-avatar"> <div class="pp-author-boxes-avatar"> <div class="avatar-image"> <img alt='Lindsay Meister' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8fd941207475066168f3448c948f7050?s=80&d=mm&r=pg' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8fd941207475066168f3448c948f7050?s=160&d=mm&r=pg 2x' class='avatar avatar-80 photo' height='80' width='80' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /> </div> </div> <div class="pp-author-boxes-avatar-details"> <div class="pp-author-boxes-name multiple-authors-name"><a href="https://incubator.talentegg.ca/author/lindsaymeister/" rel="author" title="Lindsay Meister" class="author url fn">Lindsay Meister</a></div> <p class="pp-author-boxes-description multiple-authors-description author-description-0"> Lindsay Meister is a versatile freelance content writer based in Canada.
