"You Know You're Ready For Internship When...

At Year Up we talk a lot about being Internship Ready, and what makes a good Intern. As students we have established what qualities and characteristics someone should have in order to be an all-star at their internship. This person should be dependable, willing to learn, punctual, professional, sociable, and ready-to go. During my time at Year Up I have been able to work on developing these skills. So far I've demonstrate my skills by being consistently professional, positive, upbeat, wiling to learn, and punctual. In module three I plan on continuing these behaviors as well as becoming more consistent with my attendance. As of right now I do feel like I could walk into a Corporate setting and be a good Intern  because it is easy for me to adapt to my surroundings. I feel confident in the tech skills that I have learned, but even more confident in my people skills. I know that I have struggled with attendance, and that is the biggest improvement I need to make before going to my internship. I really feel confident in my ability to blend in with the Corporate crowd, and I am sure I have shown throughout my time at Year Up that I can be a consistent professional adult. I have an easy-going personality, and I am determined to be sucessful. I know if I keep pushing myself even harder throughout Module 3 to really focus on my growth areas then I will be 100% ready for my internship.
