Majority of ideas do come already with the title "set clear goals". Make sure you converge your personal goals with employee's goal. Get regular feedbacks/updates from the mentor. Don't do it just for internship stake but make sure you understand the importance and impact it will create. Split your goals in short and long term and also mid term if you wish. This will help you not only to think big but also celebrate small milestones at each step.

1.Set clear goals and objectives. 2.Seek feedback regularly and act on it. 3.Network with colleagues and industry professionals. 4.Take initiative on projects and tasks. 5.Volunteer for additional responsibilities. 6.Learn from mistakes and ask questions. 7.Be proactive in seeking learning opportunities. 8.Develop time management and organizational skills. 9.Maintain a positive attitude and show enthusiasm. 10.Build strong relationships with mentors. 11.Stay adaptable and embrace change. 12.Document achievements and lessons learned for future reference.

This is an excellent question. I recently started the most wonderful internship at a UN NGO, and every day, I tell myself how badly I don't want it to pass so I may accomplish all of my goals. Hence, what keeps me grounded is maintaining realistic and critical goals for myself each day of my internship. They tend to follow the lines of: I.) What events do I want to attend at the UN and our office? II.) Who are the key stakeholders with whom I wish to develop connections and experiences throughout my internship? III.) What subject area of my research do I want to develop a greater interest in and conduct more projects on throughout my internship?

I see successful interns figure out early how they go about getting a stakeholder's attention when finding something of value. This should be included in culture learning activities.

Seeking feedback throughout an internship is critical; doing so will allow not only your goals but also skills and performance to consistently grow, improve, and adapt to the culture and expectations of your office and co-workers.

Building relationships with professionals throughout your internship is key. This will allow you to look back upon the success of your internship, as these connections may last a long way throughout your professional career and open up doors into novel pathways in your area of work and study.

I would recommend creating an Excel sheet to document your daily activities throughout your internship. This will come very handy and prove invaluable during your final presentation.

During the internship, I suggest asking questions, setting up one-on-one meetings with your manager or senior team members, being proactive, and demonstrating your willingness to take on new responsibilities. Engaging in these activities will enhance your skill sets, broaden your knowledge in the field, and better prepare you for potential full-time opportunities.
