Internship DO's....if You Want to be a Keeper!

I love lists.....especially "to do" lists! They help organize my brain and my time, both of which helps me to get more accomplished without losing my mind. This list for interns is a "to do" list of sorts, giving advice on what you should be sure to do while working as an intern, but only if you want to be a "keeper"! (Hmmm.....that is the point of interning. Right?)

Here are some personal traits an employer wants and looks for in the interns they hire full-time:

1. Work well with others.
2. Willingness to wear any of the necessary hats.
3. Enthusiasm about the opportunity.
4. Organized, self-motivated, dependable.
5. Asks intelligent questions, looks for solutions to problems
   
6. Go above and beyond what is expected.
7. Eager to learn, focused.
   
8. Receptive to correction
9. On time, on time, on time.
10. Follows directions, great listening skills.
    
11. Good attitude!

Didn't you learn these in kindergarten?
