So you’ve put together a resume and cover letter and interviewed successfully, you may now be wondering what else you need to do for your internship to be successful. Getting hired is only the start; since before you know it the summer will be over, and you will want to know that you’ve done everything it takes to be a successful intern.
你已經(jīng)編輯好一份完美的簡歷和求職信了,也在面試過程中表現(xiàn)出色,如今就該考慮考慮怎么順利度過實(shí)習(xí)期了。被錄用只是開始,既然你知道夏天總會結(jié)束的,你也想知道自己的表現(xiàn)是否出色。

One of the major reasons that students do internships is to gain the relevant knowledge and skills it takes to get started in a particular career field.
學(xué)生們參與實(shí)習(xí)工作的一個(gè)主要原因在于,他們想要從中獲取相關(guān)的知識和技能,以便將來在某一特定的職業(yè)領(lǐng)域里開始自己的人生。

More importantly the value of your internship includes the professional people you meet along the way that can serve you well once you begin your job search. You may have heard the old adage, “it’s not what you know but who you know that counts”. You may not believe it, but you will soon find out that networking with others can open doors for you that might be impossible for you to crack alone.
更重要的,實(shí)習(xí)期的珍貴之處在于,你所遇到的那些人可以為你的求職提供良好的幫助。你可能聽說過這句諺語:“人脈比知識更重要。”你可能不買賬,但你很快就會發(fā)現(xiàn),與他人建立的聯(lián)系可以助你實(shí)現(xiàn)一些你單槍匹馬無法辦到的事情。

Helpful tips on how to make the most of your summer internship:
實(shí)習(xí)生利用以下這些有用的小提示,讓暑期實(shí)習(xí)收獲滿滿:

1. Be prepared to learn everything you can!
1. 做好學(xué)習(xí)的準(zhǔn)備!

It’s guaranteed that you will feel incompetent and inexperienced at times, but just know that that’s ok and that’s what most people feel when they start any new endeavor. Just remember that it’s ok and even normal to experience these feelings, but don’t let it affect the quality of your work and how you deal with people both inside and outside of the organization. Internships are learning experiences so be sure to take advantage of your status to learn more and ask questions so that you can get the absolute most out of your internship.
有時(shí)候你會感到自己能力不足或經(jīng)驗(yàn)不足,這是必經(jīng)的。但你要知道這些感覺是沒有關(guān)系的,這也是絕大多數(shù)人在開始新的挑戰(zhàn)時(shí)同樣的感受。只要記住這種感受是沒關(guān)系的就可以了,甚至經(jīng)歷這些感受也是正常的,不要讓它影響你的工作質(zhì)量,也不要讓它影響你在公司范圍內(nèi)外的人際關(guān)系。實(shí)習(xí)期就是積累經(jīng)驗(yàn)的過程,所以要好好利用你的位置優(yōu)勢,多學(xué)習(xí)多提問,才能在實(shí)習(xí)期學(xué)到最多的東西。

2. Be punctual.
2. 守時(shí)。

Punctuality is a trait that can either endear you to your boss; or if you’re constantly late or don’t come in, it can be something that annoys the heck out of him or her and could even cost you your internship. Coming in each day a little early will show your boss that you are eager to come to work and that you want to get the most out of the experience that you can.
你要么守時(shí),讓你更受老板的青睞;你要么常常遲到或不到崗,這就很有可能惹毛老板,甚至讓你的實(shí)習(xí)期付上沉重的代價(jià)。每天早一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)到崗,老板就知道你對工作的熱切期待以及你想要盡可能積累經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

Being early might also have some perks by enabling you to meet with other employees when the environment is a little less hectic.
早早到崗還有另外一個(gè)好處,你可以在工作氣氛不那么緊張的時(shí)候與其他的員工多見面。

3. Take copious notes.
3. 多記筆記。

At the beginning of any new experience, there is always so much to learn. By taking notes you will be able to learn quickly and not keep asking the same questions. Although good supervisors usually welcome questions, asking the same questions over and over can be annoying while also taking a lot of the supervisor’s valuable time.
在任何一個(gè)新的經(jīng)歷之初,總會有許多值得學(xué)習(xí)的東西。多記筆記,你就很快上手,也不會一直提出相同的問題。盡管好的上司一般都?xì)g迎員工向他們提問,但是總是提問相同的問題也會讓人感到煩躁,還會浪費(fèi)上司許多寶貴的時(shí)間。

4. Find a mentor and meet with him/her regularly.
4. 尋找一位導(dǎo)師,多與他/她見面。

Having a mentor within the organization can take a lot of stress out of your internship. Look around within the organization to see which people seem knowledgeable and approachable and ask them if they would be willing to help guide you or be your mentor.? A good mentor can help show you the ropes much quicker that trying to navigate the job and the organization on your own.
在公司里找到一位職業(yè)導(dǎo)師,可以為你的實(shí)習(xí)期減輕不少壓力。環(huán)顧公司,尋找看起來知識豐富,平易近人的同事,并詢問對方是否愿意為你提供指導(dǎo)或成為你的導(dǎo)師。一位良好的導(dǎo)師可以幫助你更輕松地走接下來的路。

5. Take initiative.
5. 主動請纓。

This can be your time to shine. Although this might take a great deal of your time, by doing a good job you will show your supervisor your capability which could lead to future responsibilities that you would welcome on the job. This is one way to steer away from being asked to do the mundane tasks that nobody wants to do while giving you some concrete experience to add to your resume.
這就是你散發(fā)光芒的時(shí)候了。盡管這樣會花上你大量的時(shí)間,但如果你的工作表現(xiàn)出色,你就能向上司展示你的能力,那么你就可能在將來被委以重任。這也可以防止被分配到那些無人問津的瑣碎工作,你還能把積累下來的具體經(jīng)驗(yàn)寫進(jìn)簡歷里。

Be sure to ask others if you can help; or if you realize that there's a project you'd like to take the lead on, check with your supervisor for the ok.
請記住詢問他人是否需要你的幫助;或者如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)有一個(gè)可以起帶頭作用的項(xiàng)目,請首先獲得上司的允許。
