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.

Excellent article, not just for internships, but for starting a job at any time and thinking about the right fit--especially culture and building relationships.
You hit the nail!

I sit. Thinking. Smiling. Reflecting. Wondering… About all of the people, the moments, the times that have changed my life. How did my path lead to where I am? Why do I feel so fortunate for everything that I have? Why am I typing and smiling so cheesy that the coffee shop barista...

5 Ways to Not Be a Complete SAP on Social Media

Kyle Lacy

Where do you draw the line as a person and as a brand? I think the issue I am having with so much irrelevant content is that… it is not new… it is not fun… if I wanted an ego boost I would turn on Joel Osteen or Tony Robbins. And most of all… it is not real.

Round Three or Not Round Three: Part One

Scott Shrum

This is the time of year when, every time the phone rings here at Veritas Prep HQ, there's a good chance it's an applicant calling to ask us if he should apply to business school in the third admissions round, or if he should wait until next year.
