Internship Etiquette
Here are a few guidelines to follow
so that you make the best impression at your internship:
- Be on time. If
you are to arrive at 1:00 p.m., arrive at 1:00 p.m., not 1:10 p.m. If
you are unavoidably detained (accident, flat tire, etc.) and you are
able, call your supervisor to let him/her know what happened.
- Dress
appropriately. On your first day, it's always best to dress in
business attire. If you're not sure of what is considered appropriate
business attire, ask the internship coordinator, or ask your
internship supervisor what she or he prefers you wear to the office.
- Meet the hour
requirement of your internship. If you are to complete 15 hours per
week, then make sure you complete 15 hours per week. Failure to
complete the hours required for the units taken can result in no
credit for the internship. You have made a contractual obligation with
your internship supervisor to work a certain number of hours. Failure
to do this reflects on your professionalism.
- Think and act
as a professional - be responsible and dependable.
- Remember that you are there to
learn. People always respect those who are teachable.
- If you are having problems of
any kind at your internship, please contact your faculty
coordinator.
