Tips & Tricks for YOUR internship

Over the course of the internship program, we have asked students for their feedback and

things they wish they could have done differently to better succeed in their internship and in

this program. Below are some of the tips they shared with us:

Become self motivated and do work outside of the office Keep busy in free/ down time while on the job Take advantage of your position – ask a lot of questions and learn all

about the business Develop a good relationship with your supervisor - you never know

who else you could meet and what effect they could have on your fu-ture

MPRs are time consuming and cannot be done the night before Never be afraid to ask for help

Dress for Success

Mrs. Judy Dietert Assistant Chair Department of Management

DO’S DON’TS Neutral makeup Bright lipstick/makeup

Cleanly shaven Messy hair

pany before your interview to ensure what is required of you.
