DO: Dress for success
Stay classy, San Diego.
DON’T: dress for the club
We all love a good pair of stilettos, but maybe consider bringing a more practical pair that won’t kill your feet.
DO: make your name known around the office
Better start practicing that handshake er, “smeyes.”
DON’T: make a bad rep for yourself
No one wants to be that girl that comes in late, leaves early, and doesn’t know how to work the copy machine.
DO: Ask questions!
Remember, there’s no such thing as a dumb question…usually
DON’T: try to figure everything out on your own.
Interns don’t need to have all the answers!
DO: Ask for feedback
A resume critique or employer evaluation can help you improve for your next internship!
DON’T: Ask a random associate for a letter of recommendation on your last day.
Mention it in advance, and ask someone you worked closely with.
DO: Act like a sponge
Absorb anything and everything you can and HAVE FUN!
