Getting The Most Out of an Internship
By John Vinson
Summer internships can be some of the greatest experiences you'll ever have, or the worst. Many times the factors which decide the outcome are outside your control. This article isn't simply meant for those taking part in an internship, but also bosses who have interns working for them. Whether you're an intern, or have an intern on your staff, you have to make the most out of the experience. As you might just be surprised with how fortuitous the outcome can be.

For the Interns

If you're an intern, you're probably reading this while in your late teens or early 20?s. Life is ahead of you, and the sky is the limit. You might be looking at your summer internship as just something to get past, or simply slap on a resume. Alison Green, of USNews,provides some wonderful tips on how to make your summer internship more than just something to get through.

When you're going through your last day, be sure and leave thanking everyone you worked with. Establish ties which can later be used in your favor. You never know when planting a seed will help you in the future, so be sure to keep all the work relationships you established healthy upon departure.

Talk to your manager, and receive criticism about your time working at your internship. Discovering faults and improving upon them can be one of the greatest blessings you can receive from an internship.
