conversations with a new intern; now that youre well-versed in the ways of the office, you may have
forgotten the basics. For example, give her the lowdown on:
Best ways to commute
How to dress appropriately
Which materials to bring (laptop, notebook, phone, ID, etc)
Effective ways to make use of downtime
Who to contact about questions or in case of emergency
How to make the most of networking events
Nearby places to get coffee or lunch
Daily tasks and longer-term projects
7. List your accomplishments and update your resume.Congratulations on making
significant contributions to the company. T o celebrate, feel f ree to check y ourself out in the
morning, give yourself the wink and the gunCarlton Banks-style every time you pass a mirror, and
high five your apartment-mates at the end of each day. Or be a serious intern and record of all your
hard work while its still relevant to y our life and fresh in your mind, which meanstouching up your
resumebefore you go back to school. Your strategy should be to show your accomplishments, not
tell them: Always think, how can I connect the dots for the employer [reading my resume]? says
Berger. Dont just list things. Show how a task at your internship positively affec ted that business.
Not sure how to get started? This is yet another chance to consult your supervisor! Last summer,
my boss sat me and the other interns down and talked about what we should put on our CV, says
recent Bucknell graduate Sarah . It was great to be able to go over what we were doing but an even
better ex perience to see how she rephrased it to make it sound professional."
8. Build your portfolio.Your resume summarizes your achievements and displays them neatly on
an 8.5 x 11-inch piece of paper, but it doesnt provide any tangible evidence of y our work. Keep
copies of your best finished products on top of basic application materials like resumes, cover
letters, and references. Dont have any artsy photography skills to show off? Dont make themistake of thinking portfolios can only comprise supposedly meaningful black-and-white photos of
an Arbys at 5 a.m.! An effective compilation can include anything from creative projects and
published articles to statistical reports and analytical presentations, depending on your field.
9. Grab a letter of recommendation. Now that youve done everything possible to be a stellar
intern, dont be too shy to ask for a reference or letter of recommendation. Even if yo uve already
figured out number 5 and youve decided you dont want to pursue the same field long-term, your
supervisor can speak to all your impressive assets that apply generally, like intelligence, dedication,
creativity and work ethic. Ask for the letter to be a general recommendation based on your
performance, rather than a letter tailored specifically for a future job or internship, and be sure to
get the okay from your boss to potentially use it for multiple future endeavors, suggests Maddy, a
recent graduate of Kenyon College. This way, you can compile a mini-file of awesome rec letters to
have ready to go at all times.
10. Follow up and say thank you.Following up sounds like a task to be postponed for after you
leave y our internship, but its easier to show sincere gratitude while yo ure still immersed in the
