🎯 Interns, Listen Up! Here's How to Stand Out Without Losing Your Mind
Starting your internship soon? Wanna impress your boss and not get labeled the "blur intern"? 👀 Here’s your go-to cheat sheet (with a splash of humor):
🔸 Be on time No, not “Malaysian time.” Set 2 alarms, maybe 3. Arrive 10-15 mins early and pretend you weren’t catching your breath from running.
🔸 Ask questions Yes, seriously. Don’t just nod like you understand the task. It shows you care. (And no, Googling in secret doesn’t count.)
🔸 Be informedStalk the company like you're checking out your ex's new partner. Know their history, vibe, and what they post on social media.
🔸 Dress to impressDon’t show up like you're going to a picnic or your cousin’s wedding. Ask about the dress code. And always, alwaysbring a backup outfit. Spills happen. 😅
🔸 Be positiveSmile. Not the creepy kind. Just be nice, polite, and approachable. Good vibes only nobody wants to work with a walking storm cloud.
🔸 Be sociableMingle! Say hi! You might meet your future business partner or just someone who knows where the free food is kept. Either way, worth it.
🔸 Be willingYou're not too cool to photocopy stuff or help with a boring spreadsheet. Show you're game for anything (within reason don’t mop the floor unless they really beg).
🔸 Communicate with your supervisorThey’re not just there to scare you. Build a good relationship future-you might need a killer recommendation letter.
