How have you advocated for yourself during your internship, or seen advocacy demonstrated in other situations? Are you following the advice in "How to be an intern everyone remembers"? If so, how is it working out? If not, what are you going to start doing?
I feel like I have been a good intern, in the sense that I have asked many questions, when there is a need, and constantly take notes on what I need to learn or improve on. On my first day I was struck with the vast realization that I didn't have the skills required to be successful in my internship. I took note of all of the physics topics and academic skills involved in my work and made a study plan to begin working on them at home. One of the engineers who originally started off as an intern at Atec came up to me and gave me some tips on how to grab attention and be an "intern they'll remember." I work independently sometimes, but when observing my mentor or one of the engineers, I always make sure they know I'm there.
