1. Dress the part. Like they say, dress for the job you want. Why not start now?
2. Be eager with all tasks. Keeping a positive attitude is so important and makes less fun tasks slightly more enjoyable or at least bearable.
3. Do more than what is expected of you. Go above and beyond what is asked of you because what do you have to lose.
4. Work hard. "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." Colossians 3:23-24
5. Be excited about having an internship. Internships are stepping stones to a future career. Be excited about exploring the possibilities and opportunities in your field of choice.
6. Learn as much as you can. What better way to learn than by a hands-on experience. You will learn so much more than you would in a classroom. Be a sponge to the endless possibilities.
7. Be confident in your work and your abilities. Eleanor Roosevelt got this one right. You are capable of so much if you believe in yourself.
8. Be yourself. Why be anyone else when you are "fearfully an wonderfully made."
9. Keep your personal life personal. Unless asked, save the drama for your mama. Stay present and focused when working.
10. Show up on time and meet deadlines. Clients are depending on you to provide for them what they payed for- take this responsibility seriously.
11. Stay positive when things don't go your way. A lot will go wrong or different than you planned. Use these opportunities to learn and think critically.
12. Stay fiercely motivated. Life gets busy and tough, but remind yourself of what you want to accomplish and what your goals are.
13. Keep on keeping on because "hey now hey now (interning) is what dreams are made!" How could you disagree with Lizzie?
