Last summer, Firsthand surveyed more than 11,400 interns from 140 internship programs. Part of the survey asked participants to share helpful advice for future interns (you!).

Now that you’re in the middle of your summer internships and field projects, it’s a perfect time to reflect and make sure you’re performing to your highest level and getting the most out of the opportunity.

Check out Firsthand’s Best Advice for Future Interns blog post for the five most common and useful words of wisdom last summer’s internship class passed along to this year’s group of aspiring professionals. Remember that authenticity and a good attitude – along with networking, asking questions and saying “yes” to new projects – go a long way to helping you stand out and succeed in your summer experiential learning experiences.

Happy interning!
