I agree with both of your points. It's always better to admit you don't know something than to do it wrong. And, years later, I'm still good friends with people from my internships (one of the just visited me this week!). Good luck with the school year!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251419197986553034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640340131320723078.post-69538955031157396732014-08-07T13:04:38.970-07:002014-08-07T13:04:38.970-07:00Now at the tail end of my first lab internship, I ...Now at the tail end of my first lab internship, I feel as though there were a few things that really helped me the most:<br />1.

Companies won't hire you if you don't fit into their culture, so if you're always worried about being professional such that you never connect with someone on a personal level, they'll just remember you for being a robot and think that you're not going to be enjoyable to work with, and will therefore offer the job to someone who "is a better fit."
