Your supervisor may give you a written or verbal job description on your first day. But chances are there will be no job description for the intern. Once you find an internship, set aside time to sit down with your supervisor and create a job description. One, it will allow you to create a challenging internship by sharing with your supervisor the strengths you would like to employ and the weaknesses you would like to strengthen. Two, it will show that you are pursuing this internship to grow and leave a lasting impression.
Interns often come and go without leaving much of an impression.
Of course, it is possible your supervisor has a job description readily prepared. If this is the case, take time to discuss the expectations and to ask questions. Make it clear you are open to new challenges and are here to make a positive difference in the organization. 2001 Pro2Net Corp.
