TIP OF THE WEEK: Internship Success
10 steps to turning your internship into a job
1. Learn the unwritten rules of the office. A lot of companies have "unwritten rules" regarding how to dress and
behave. For instance, some companies are cool with employees rolling in a little later than typical office hours, so
long as they finish their work, while other companies might not be so lax. Pay attention to how your manager and
co-workers dress, behave and interact at the office to get a feel for the office "culture." Not only will it help you
adapt quickly to the environment, but it will also help you assess whether or not the company is the right fit for you
long term.
2. Be the ultimate professional. This means dressing appropriately (sorry, pajama pants and flip flops are NOT
considered "business casual"), arriving on time and staying late if needed, staying off social media (unless it's
part of your job) and using it responsibly when you're on. If you take the job seriously, the more likely your boss is
to take you seriously as a prospective future employee.
3. Own up to your mistakes. Even the most seasoned employees make mistakes at work, so as someone brand
new to the workforce, it's inevitable that you will make a few missteps yourself. What separates bad employees
from good employees, however, is not the mistakes themselves, but how they recover from those mistakes. If
you make a mistake on the job, show your boss that you have the maturity to own up to it and the sense to learn
from it.
