As your spring break tan fades and panic over finals sets in, it can only mean one thing: summer internships are right around the corner. Yes, I know, you’ve got enough to do.
3 RESPONSES TO "LISTEN: THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR SUMMER INTERNSHIP"

Excellent advice. I was one of the ones who in the middle of the internship decided that I was in the wrong place. I still finished out the summer doing the best job I could and did not burn any bridges. In fact, I still maintain a relationship with my manager from that summer.
Caitlin, these are all good points. I know that some interns get so caught up in proving their intelligence and competence that they forget (or overlook) everything else. As you point out, dressing and acting the part can be just as important as actually doing your job well.

You hit the nail!
