Check out our Sneak Peek of this Digging Deeper interview as Kinsey and Julie share about their internship. Meanwhile, Let's Talk More on Monday with Julie and Kinsey!

@Celonis wanted to showcase their internships in an authentic way that only the interns themselves could have done. By giving interns the power to film themselves, while sticking to a shot list-format, they were able to do just that. #iphonevideoproduction #videoproduction #productvideos #marketingstrategy #contentstrategy #employerbranding

Love this self-reflection prompt from Chick-fil-A Corporate Support Center. Sharing my thoughts below, and would love to hear yours! --- In my first job, a skill I learned that still serves me today is... the value of adaptability. Early in my career, interning with eSports & convention marketing campaigns, I quickly realized that no event or project ever goes exactly as planned. Whether it was resolving unexpected issues like a tardy vendor or finding creative solutions on the fly, expecting the unexpected made all the difference. The fast-paced environment and long hours of the event world have taught me that success often times comes from anticipating needs and taking decisive action quickly. How you react to the curveballs thrown your way is a critical aspect of quality success and leadership. These lessons in adaptability and proactive problem-solving have not only shaped my professional journey but also enriched my personal life. Despite all our planning, we never 100% know what’s coming next - and that unpredictability is what makes the journey exciting! Remember to embrace change with an open mindset and take initiative where you can today! #EarlyCareer #SkillDevelopment #Adaptability #InternshipSeason

"What five words would you use to describe your internship experience?" We asked some of our interns to briefly summarize their summer with ITW, and their responses didn't disappoint. What did they miss? ITW interns - share your five words in the comments below ⬇️⬇️

Curious about what the CampusFM Internship Experience looks like? Check out this footage from our cohort last summer! The skills taught each week align with the interns’ most immediate needs while they are transitioning and assimilating to the job. For example, they are not worried about what to put on their LinkedIn profile at the start of their internship, they are worried about reducing uncertainty and learning how to do their job.

Summer interns - your network is your most powerful long term asset and you should actively build relationships with alumni, other summer interns and working professionals during your summer. You are all programmed to focus on your PPO. Focus also on spending time building relationships with: 1) Alumni in your internship company and beyond - invite them for a coffee to get to know them and get their advice 2) Fellow summer interns from other campuses 3) Other professionals in your internship company and beyond - all these professionals will move on to other companies over the course of your 30-40 year career How do you do it? Send personalized notes to alumni at your internship company / city with a line about yourself, a line about why you would like to meet and a line about some topics you'd like to get mentorship and advice on. Take photos, post them and tag us!

As we continue to guide our summer interns, some of our team began reflecting on their own internship experiences. We’re curious how other seasoned professionals would answer this question: If you could do your internship over again, what would you do differently? Please join the conversation and share your thoughts in the comments below!

Interns have huge value... ...if you let them! As an elder millennial, I only ever heard of interns fetching coffee and making copies whilst growing up, and that's the impression I think most people of similar age had of internships. Times have definitely changed and thank goodness for that! Yesterday we had our third annual Intern Showcase where several of our amazing interns spoke about the impactful projects they have been working on this summer. These are projects that will really benefit our business and I'm just loving what internships can be when you have a well-structured program that looks to benefit both interns AND the company. Its also important to me that they are given an opportunity to not only share their work, but to be able to build their presentation skills to a wide audience of senior leadership - this is why I and my virtual coffee hour co-chair launched this showcase three years ago. We wanted to make sure that our incredible interns felt supported and engaged with the rest of their fellow employees, making it a valuable summer for everyone. Who else has had a less-than-stellar internship experience when starting out? Do you see the same changes I see in today's internship programs?
