Getting the Internship, and Keeping It
College students–it’s never too early to start keeping an eye out for various intern opportunites. I just came across these two helpful articles from the Stony Brook Independent: How to Land a Media Internship, and How to Not be a Good Intern (aka “How to Be a Bad Intern”)
The most obvious yet important tip comes from Stacey Halio, the News 12 internship coordinator. “Don’t lie,” Halio said. “I know that sounds simple, but we’ve had an intern who just lied about everything. Not only did she lie about the amount of time she spent in the office, she was just a pathological liar.”
Halio also advised interns not to read while on the job. “I know this sounds silly, but you should always take the initiative and see what can be done to help your supervisor or anyone else instead of turning to a book,” she said.
I hope that today’s students know that but I know that’s wishful thinking. Read more here.
