Treat your internship like an extended job interview...
...because it is. Arrive on time, beat (or at the very least meet) deadlines and consistently deliver strong work.
Seek out challenges
Employers want employees who show initiative and a desire to learn and develop. The majority of employers (59%) are more likely to permanently hire a college intern who asks for more responsibilities.
Ask good questions
Employers know you don't have all the answers. In fact, 46% said candidates who come to them with thoughtful questions have a better chance of getting hired full time.
Remember the golden rule
Always be respectful, address co-workers courteously and don't get caught up in office gossip.
Leave a positive impression
Show enthusiasm for the projects you're working on and the company overall; don't complain; and refrain from e-mailing or talking to friends.
