The student should maintain and present a sense of professionalism right from the application process, through well designed cover letters and resumes. The student should always portray themselves in professional manner so that they satisfy the employer and potentially be retained as permanent employees.
Performing Actions to Get Recognized

Students should be inquisitive about the processes that occur within the office and should enjoy the work they are performing.
Students should read journals and articles which are relevant to their chosen career fields. They should join professional groups, when possible. The informative discussions with their colleagues will help them to gather more knowledge about present goals and the company’s objectives for the future. Additional research and dedication of your time in the internship can make it more meaningful and provide valuable information about the industry.
