Interview preparation checklist

  • Read the internship description again and match your skills to it.
  • Research the organisation: what it does, its products, recent news.
  • Prepare a 1-minute introduction: who you are, what you studied, what you want to learn.
  • Prepare 2-3 examples from projects or college where you solved a problem or worked in a team.
  • Practise common questions: "Why this internship?", "Tell me about a challenge", "Where do you see yourself?".
  • Prepare 2 questions to ask: "What will a typical week look like?", "Who will guide me?"
  • For online interviews test your internet, camera and microphone; sit in a quiet, well-lit place.
  • Dress neatly, join 5 minutes early, and send a thank-you message afterwards.
