Coming to the the end of your first internship is a big milestone. You’ve gotten your first working experience and you’ve gotten a taste of what life after school is going to be like. We’ve got a simple of checklist of things that you should do to wrap up your internship on a good note.
Update Your CV With What You’ve Learned/Done
Your CV is arguably the most important document that you’re going to need for your career. You need to keep it updated with any new skills and experiences that you accumulate. And the best time to update your CV with your internship experience is before the internship is over and the details of the things that you’ve accomplished become foggy.
Connect With On LinkedIn
Your LinkedIn profile will be used in some cases to determine whether or not you’re going to be good hire. Not to mention the fact that your connections on LinkedIn can help you land your next big role. Before you leave your internship, make sure that you connect with your supervisors and coworkers on LinkedIn.
Get Feedback On Your Performance
At the end of your internship, you should get feedback on how other people have seen your performance. Be direct about it and ask. Even if there are things that you don’t want to hear, learning your flaws will make you much better for your next internship or your first full-time role.
Get A Recommendation Letter
Finally, don’t leave your internship without getting a recommendation letter or two from the people that you’ve worked with. We’ve even got some tips lined up for exactly that if the thought makes you uncomfortable. Check them out here.
