Internship is coming up and I have got to know my strengths and not as affective things about myself. I need to do this so I can put my best foot forward and make a great impression on everyone there. I think the 1st thing I will do is make sure I shake hands hard and introduce myself. After I shake hands and I feel an awkward silence which might come up soon, I plan on asking something like, “So how long have you been working at x y and z company?” this way I can keep an interviewer happy because everyone enjoys talking about themselves right. Me personally, I do not care where I work as long as they supply food. As horrible and corny as this sound, there is a logical explanation behind it. If my internship supplied food, I could have conversations with managers and Co-workers there on sight, I could stop wasting time with going out far for lunch or wasting 20 minutes at home trying to figure out what I wanted to eat, and I am accessible 100% of the time without hesitation. I do want to develop skills such as better networking and small talk while I am at my internship. I think the worse thing about my whole internship is my anxiety. I am not necessarily scared or worried but just anxious to know where I am going and what I will be doing. I plan on standing out by my active and attentive listening, well at least looking like it anyways. I am a great nodder and commenter without paying 100% attention, my mother can verify. But all jokes aside, I plan on trying to establish myself to the company and show them why I am irreplaceable so they will hire me after internship and hopefully into a full time employee. DREAMS right.
