HOW TO SURVIVE AS AN INTERN

Get over yourself

1. The whole point of doing an internship is that you are meant to be doing things that you’ve never done before so its not meant to be easy.

2. Failure is always an option, learn from your mistakes and do not get paralyzed by your analysis of your performance either

3. If you have a new idea to improve any aspect of the business or current work environment, then by all means speak up. You miss 100% of the shots you never take

4. Money is something, but not everything. It’s a good thing to sacrifice what you are now for what you will become, that’s dedication.

5. Lead the way ,Everyone will be more than happy to hear about something that can either A) Save them time throughout their day; or B) Make them more money

6. Embrace the culture and say yes. Ask to be included in everything you feel you could add value to. Be a yes man.

7. Enjoy every second of it. This is probably the only time in your adult life where there will be very little expected of you.
