Internship feedback and criticism can help make you a better journalist and set you on a path to continuous improvement for the rest of your journalism career.

If you are going to have a big problem on your internship that is not about journalism, it likely will have four wheels and a windshield. We have had interns who did not know how to drive, whose licenses were lost or suspended, who totaled company cars, who had their own cars stolen, who had to lease cars, who secretly amassed piles of parking tickets and one who crashed into the publisher’s car.

Find out where the schedules are posted, how far in advance they go up and how susceptible they are to change. Summer internships can have funny schedules around holidays.

What to wear and how to prepare for the first day of your internship.

The tech community is all a-Twitter with the story of a candidate who booted a new job with Cisco by Tweeting about how the commute — and the work — would be dreadful. You guessed it. Someone saw the post and the offer appears to have evaporated.
