Love this post! It sounds like you had an amazing internship experience at NBC Universal! I interned at Comcast last summer, and after reading your post, it seems that (naturally), their company culture is very similar. As an intern at Comcast, I felt the same way at first — a little nervous to go meet with my team for lunch, or get coffee with a stranger, but I quickly learned that was the way there, and that everyone was more than willing to talk to you casually!

I think it’s super cool that these large corporations are working to make their internship programs tailored to each individual based on what they are interested in learning/goals they have going in. Getting direct experience in the areas you voiced your interest in is so awesome and valuable!

Good luck with the rest of your senior year!

Cheers,
Jess

I also appreciated your first tip on asking questions. I’ve read before not to ask too many questions as an intern, but I disagree. If you’re asking meaningful questions in an effort to help your team, like how you took some weight off of your supervisors shoulders, I can’t see the harm in that.
