  • Don't forget to take advantage of the career services office at your college -- they typically have leads to numerous internship opportunities.

  • Do be sure you have a dynamic cover letter, a superior resume, and polished interviewing techniques.

  • Do send thank you letters to all people who interview you -- and all the people who help you find an internship.

  • Don't ever give up in your internship quest. And do exhaust all possible internship leads.

  • Do enjoy your internship -- even when you are doing the inevitable grunt work many interns do as part of "paying your dues."

  • Don't burn any bridges -- even if your internship was not the best.

  • Do keep in touch with key coworkers from your internships -- and do cultivate them to become part of your network.
