Best advice for an incoming intern?

I got an internship opportunity at a BB for a PWM role, and I was wondering what advice do you have for someone in my position regarding any aspect of the job (acting professional, networking, how to be more efficient...).

Thanks!

Apart from behaving like a normal human being (friendly, respectful, eating with your knife and fork) the best you can do is make sure to remember / take note what people are teaching / telling you

 

Be an outstanding active listener. Take great notes. Don't be so quick to ask a question as listening generally provides the answer without the question being asked. But, ask questions if you don't understand something, want to clarify, etc. But ask good questions. Ones that matter, not just to look good or stand out. That's very transparent. Be a sponge and do accurate work. Spellcheck (and grammar) is a must! Typos are lazy. 

 

Quidem cupiditate odio dicta magnam qui debitis autem atque. Sequi alias pariatur deleniti. Consectetur porro nesciunt quis porro totam.

Voluptatem quis repellat magni est. Dignissimos eos ut quia sapiente quia. Et iusto consequatur rerum reiciendis fugiat ducimus.
