Intern interview question #1: Tell us a bit about yourself. We suggest making three brief points along the lines of: 1) your year of study and degree subject; 2) your career aim or what career you're interested in; 3) a hobby or interest that you pursue in your spare time.
Have your professional documents ready. Even after you apply for many internships, always keep your resume, CV, references, and cover letter up-to-date and ready to go. Internships come and go quickly, so always keep both a flash drive and a physical folder with paper copies of these documents handy.
