I love your focus on avoiding negativity and taking initiative, and how you showed the way that both of those go hand in hand in tackling all tasks with positivity and enthusiasm! It's cool to see how all of these feed into each other.
ReplyDeleteNot only do you want to show positivity in your attitude and interactions with your coworkers to show them that you want to be there, but you want to show positivity in the ideas you bring to the table and in the tasks you perform. If you show that you genuinely care about your work and understand how it is important in relation to the big picture of what your company is trying to accomplish, you will go far!
I also like the importance you place on taking initiative and being a problem solver (with the approval of your manager! Good eye with including that as well - it's definitely important to communicate well and not overstep your boundaries as an intern). If you can develop and see to completion projects that help your department or company run more smoothly and make other people's jobs easier, you will be really successful.
Also, you and Corina both put enjoy yourself last; I know you both are hardworking and motivated, but don't forget to have fun!
