Thanks for your advice! |
I think it's important that you show yourself so that they know who you are, that's a must. And when showing yourself you can be proud, because you are important and there is an important place for you waiting out there. Phone calls are better than e-mail. If the person wants e-mail, then e-mail, but use the phone as much as possible, because then you also get fast answers and can head for other options as soon as possible.
Here are a few good values to mention when asked:
- To be honest
- To be passionate
- To be responsible
When you mention these things they should trigger a number of green lights in their heads. These values show that you are grown up and able to function well in any context which is very important because you will be in contact with important industry people.
As I mentioned earlier it is a good idea to try to find a place where you can start working without interning first. The reason is really simple, the best decision makers do it like that and you want to get hired by great decision makers. You will probably get hired as an assistant, which would be a really great opportunity for you. But you will get a good salary and good job tasks, because first of all they have money and secondly they know you are important and want you to feel important right from the start. I've read a lot of stories where people have got an internship for almost no salary and completely wasted their time. These are the companies that will go under within the next 10 years.
Well, just a few hints... Take care!
