It is not something that you hear as advice much but it definitely should be. As someone on their third internship and in their senior year, I’ve also found that the most productive internships I’ve had have been the ones where I have been constantly curious and raised my hand to take new things on and ask about the projects I’ve been given.

I loved that you wrote it in a guideline format, I wish I read this before I started my own internship! Each of your guidelines are very applicable and things that I would also recommend to someone new to the internship world. It definitely can be daunting to raise your hand, it was something I remember struggling with at the beginning. I did not want to feel like a burden to my mentors, but I quickly learned that they hire interns not just for clout (lol) but they really do want you to get something from the experience, and want to utilize your skills! I think you said it best “be afraid of being clueless”, during an internship you often need to guide your own experience, and a part of that is stepping out of your comfort zone and not hesitating to get in front of people at the company.
