Hitting the Ground Running

Imagine it's the first day of your internship! Yay, but also eek! It can be nerve-wracking but you can take multiple steps to prepare yourself so you enter your internship ready to succeed.

A great way to see what a first day might be like is to hear from other students who have completed internships and can share their perspectives.

Your Task:
Watch the short videos of NAF alumni Neil (video above), Kartik, and Tiana, where they talk about their first days in their internship and answer the following questions:
- What piece of advice or situation surprised you the most?
- Why were you surprised?
- How can you use this information or advice to be better prepared for your internship?

In the Skillbuilder text box, write a short reflection for each of these questions.
