[280]
hiring managers i am someone who
[282]
understands you have to work hard to
[284]

[286]

[295]
that is a brilliant answer to that very
[297]
first internship interview question tell
[299]
me a bit about yourself
[301]
the second question that i want you to
[303]
prepare for is why do you want to intern
[305]
here so why do you want to come to this
[306]
company for your internship
[309]
so couple of tips give reasons that are
[311]
attractive to the interviewer so think
[313]
about them in your response
[316]
so the reasons might be
[318]
that you want to develop a strong work
[320]
ethic you want to improve teamworking
[323]
skills and also learn from more
[325]
experienced members of staff in a
[327]
company that is aligned to your own
[329]
future career goals so these are really
[332]
good reasons to give for the intern
[333]
interview question why do you want to
[335]
intern here here is my suggested answer
[338]
i want to intern here primarily for
[340]
three reasons firstly i feel your
[342]
business is aligned to my future career
[344]
goals and i will get to learn invaluable
[346]
skills that will help me in the future
[348]
secondly
[349]
it is clear you have a wealth of
[351]
experience at this company and you have
[353]
strong work values and ethics i want to
[356]
use my time wisely during the internship
[358]
and get as much out of it as possible if
[360]
i undertake my intern here i am
[362]
confident that will happen finally one
[364]
of the main reasons for undertaking this
[366]
internship is i want to develop the
[368]
necessary work skills and values to
[370]
excel in my future career
[372]
working here will allow me to develop
[374]
those skills and values for sure another
[376]
great answer
[378]
to another internship interview question
[380]
which is why do you want to intern here
[383]
and i like the fact that you are really
[384]
showing a level of passion there those
[386]
all important qualities that i spoke
[388]
about at the beginning you are
[389]
demonstrating them there and also you
[391]
were explaining that they have a wealth
[392]
of experience they've got strong work
[394]
values and ethics and you want those
[397]
as part of your core attributes for the
[399]
future
[400]
next question that we want to prepare
[403]
for is what are your strengths and
[404]
weaknesses now this is a difficult
[406]
question we can all give off a number of
[409]
strengths that are attractive to a
[412]
hiring manager or interviewer but it's
[414]
the weakness one that we have to be
[415]
careful with
[417]
so my tip for you when responding to
[419]
this intern interview interview question
[421]
what your strengths and weaknesses is
[423]
give three strengths and just one
[424]
weakness
[425]
so good strengths to give are the fact
[428]
that you are organized you are
[430]
self-motivated which means you don't
[432]
need much supervision and you have a
[434]
passion for learning those are three
[435]
really good strengths to give now when
[437]
you give your weakness
[439]
tell the interviewer you are trying to
[441]
improve on that weakness but don't give
[443]
them a weakness that could be damaging
[445]
to your chances of getting this
[446]
internship
[448]
so here is my suggested answer
[451]
my weakness is i sometimes spend too
[454]
much time on the details
[456]
which can slow me down when trying to
[457]
get things completed quickly
[459]
the weakness is borne out of simply
[461]
wanting to do a perfect job but i am
[463]
learning to get things finished faster
[465]
while still maintaining high standards
[467]
my strengths include the fact i am very
[469]
well organized and i can plan my work
[472]
accordingly i am also self-motivated and
[474]
i don't need much supervision and i also
[476]
have a natural passion for continuous
[478]
learning and development that is a
[480]
brilliant answer and what you will
[482]
notice about my response there is i give
[484]
the weakness first and i finish with my
[487]
strengths and i think that's important
[490]
because you are finishing on a high
[493]
so we have basically turned around the
[495]
question we are giving them the weakness
[497]
and then the three strengths
[499]
that's a very powerful answer next
[501]
interview question for your internship
[503]
interview how would your friends
[504]
describe you in three words now this is
[507]
a tricky one because again we could all
[508]
say
[509]
my friends think that i'm you know very
[511]
positive enthusiastic i am great
[514]
but here's my tip for answering this
[515]
question be honest in your answer you
[517]
don't have to give three brilliant words
[520]
you could actually give two positive
[522]
words or traits that your friends would
[524]
describe you by
[526]
but then give them one that identifies
[528]
you are willing to learn let me give you
[530]
two answers to this question how would
[532]
your friends describe you in three words
[535]
i believe they would describe me as
[536]
someone who is honest
[538]
someone who is loyal and also possibly
[540]
someone who can be sensitive at times my
[542]
sensitivity is a positive trait in many
[544]
ways as it means i genuinely care about
[546]
my family my colleagues and also my
[549]
friends here is
[551]
answer option number two i feel they
[553]
would describe me as hard-working
[554]
someone who is conscientious and also
[557]
someone who has high levels of integrity
[559]
i like to do things the right way and
[561]
also believe you only get what you want
[563]
in life through hard work dedication and
[565]
commitment so two really good answers
[567]
there and you can pick which one is
[568]
applicable to um what your friends would
[571]
say about you
[572]
next internship
[574]
question that i want you to prepare for
[575]
is what do you plan to do during your
[577]
internship
[579]
so my tip for this is show the
[580]
interviewer you have a plan in place
[582]
already of what you intend to do whilst
[584]
you're there now this shows you are
[587]
organized and that you want to get the
[588]
most out of your time whilst with the
[591]
company so you are not just going
[592]
through the motions i've got to do an
[594]
internship you are looking to get as
[597]
much out of it as possible and you have
[599]
a plan in place so that's the important
[601]
word i want to say yes i've got a plan
[603]
in place and this is what i intend to do
[605]
so here is my suggested answer to the
[607]
internship interview question what do
[609]
you plan to do during your time here i
[611]
plan to get the most out of my time with
[613]
your company during this internship in
[614]
three ways i want to first and foremost
[617]
contribute to your company by being
[619]
productive and helping the team where
[620]
possible
[621]
i also plan to learn from you how this
[624]
industry works and what has made you
[626]
successful as a company finally i plan
[629]
to learn invaluable work skills and
[630]
values that will help me throughout my
[633]
future career so you can write down
[635]
those words that i've put in capitals
[637]
which combine your plan of what you are
[640]
going to do during your internship
[642]
next question is
[644]
what are your plans after you finish
[646]
this internship and you graduate from
[648]
school
[649]
so my tip for this is unless you have
[651]
definitive plans to work elsewhere say
[654]
you are open to working for their
[656]
organization in a specific role
[658]
now it often happens that interns end up
[660]
back at the company they completed their
[662]
internship with and there's nothing
[664]
wrong with saying i'm open to that
[665]
because then that shows
[667]
that there's a benefit to them that if
[669]
you are really good during your
[670]
internship there might be a an
[672]
opportunity for you later on once you
[675]
graduate so here is my suggested answer
[677]
to this internship interview question to
[680]
be truthful with you i am very much open
[682]
to working here for your company in the
[684]
role of and then you would insert the
[686]
job title
[687]
i carried out my research before
[689]
applying for this internship and you are
[690]
clearly a forward-thinking and
[692]
innovative company who has very high
[695]
standards and ambitious plans for the
[696]
future this is an industry that excites
[699]
me and i think it has a great future
[700]
ahead providing you are happy with my
[703]
performance during the internship and
[705]
there is space for me here i would very
[707]
much like to get my career underway with
[708]
your company if the opportunity arises
[711]
so that is attractive to them so what i
[713]
do with a lot of my suggested answers is
[716]
that i look
[717]
to add a benefit to the interviewer and
[719]
that's what you are doing there there is
[720]
a possibility that if they're happy with
[722]
you and you like it as well that you
[724]
would work for them because why would
[725]
they not want you if you are really good
[728]
during the internship and you show a
[729]
great work ethic high standards and
[731]
you're willing to learn from others then
[733]
why wouldn't they want you back because
[735]
they know what you're like so questions
[737]
to ask in your internship interview
[740]
because they will say do you have any
[741]
questions for us here's three brilliant
[744]
questions to ask at the end of your
[745]
internship interview
[747]
so what plans do you have for me during
[749]
this internship obviously you already
[750]
told them what you would like to do
[752]
so you are now asking what would they
[754]
like you to do so what plans do they
[756]
have for you
[757]
second question in your experience how
[759]
can i get the most out of my time here
[761]
during the internship so they will have
[763]
had many other people there during
[765]
interns
[766]
um and they will be saying
[768]
you know this is what you need to do
[770]
during your time there so that
[771]
demonstrates that you really do want to
[773]
get the most out of your time and you're
[775]
asking for their help in their
[777]
experience how could you get the most
[779]
out of your time and finally what the
[781]
future plans for your company over the
[782]
next five to ten years or so that shows
[784]
that you're interested in what they're
[786]
doing and moving forward and again you
[788]
are willing to learn as you go along now
