Feeling like you don't know enough yet? That's not a red flag—it's often a sign you're being challenged and growing.

Workplace communication norms aren't always obvious — you're just expected to absorb them.

Save this as your cheat sheet, and when in doubt, mirror how your manager communicates.

The best interns don't just wait for direction — they ask the right questions early.

These three questions will keep you from guessing if you're on the right track - you'll already know!

First impressions matter! Use this checklist to start out on the right foot in your internship this summer.

1 → Introduce yourself to everyone. Don't wait to be introduced. Remember names (write them down when you're at your desk!).
2 → Ask your supervisor what success looks like for you and your team this summer.
3 → Schedule a recurring weekly 1:1 with your supervisor to ensure you have the time and space to ask questions and get feedback.
4 → Find a work friend. A peer you can ask the small questions freely.
5 → Learn how your team prefers to communicate. Email? Teams? Slack?
6 → Ask about unwritten rules. Dress code expectations, meeting culture, when and where people actually eat lunch.
