get into the internship interview questions and answers tutorial. The first thing that

I need to cover is those all-important qualities. What are the qualities that the interview

is looking for from people at internship interviews? First of all, an ENTHUSIASM for the internship.

Some people think, “I've just got to get through this intern. I don't really want it!”

But you're going to be different. You need to show a high level of enthusiasm. Remember,

they are taking you on. They don't need to do that, but they are taking you on. And they

want to see that you are therefore enthusiastic for this internship. Also a WILLINGNESS TO

LEARN whilst you are there. Now, during some of the answers that I'm going to give you

in a second, we are going to tell the interviewer how willing you are to learn whilst you are

there within the internship. Also, they are looking for TEAMWORK and capabilities. The

fact that you are going to get involved with the other members of their already established

team during the internship and LEARN FROM OTHER PEOPLE. You also need to demonstrate

you have a PASSION for your future career. A passion for your future career. And also,

we want to demonstrate the qualities of PROFESSIONALISM and PUNCTUALITY. You know, you need to be

able to demonstrate all of these different qualities during your internship interview.

So, how do we do that? Well, let's get into the internship interview questions and answers.

Please take notes as I go along. I'm going to give you the intern question. I'm then

going to give you a tip, or a couple of tips, for answering it. And I will then give you

an example internship interview question response. The first one is: tell me a bit about yourself.

This will be the first question during your intern interview. So we want to get off on

a positive footing. My tips for your answer to this question: show you are a passionate

person who wants to build the solid foundations for a future career. Show you are an active

person and that you have a desire to continually learn and develop. So those are the things

that we want to cover in our answer. So here we go. Here is my suggested answer to the

internship interview question, tell me a bit about yourself? “I believe I am an enthusiastic

person who genuinely wants to develop the necessary skills and qualities to have a successful

career and future. I am genuinely a positive person; I keep myself active and I want to

learn from more experienced people than myself, so I can build the necessary work qualities

and traits that are attractive to future hiring managers. I am someone who understands you

have to work hard to achieve what you want in life, and I feel that by undertaking my

internship with your company, it will allow me to build the foundations necessary for

a successful future career.” That is a brilliant answer to that very first internship interview

question, tell me a bit about yourself? The second question that I want you to prepare

for is, why do you want to intern here? So, why do you want to come to this company for

your internship? A couple of tips: give reasons that are attractive to the interviewer. Think

about them in your response. The reasons might be that you want to develop a STRONG WORK

ETHIC. You want to improve TEAM WORKING SKILLS and also LEARN from more experienced members

of staff in a company that is aligned to your own FUTURE CAREER GOALS. These are really

good reasons to give for the intern interview question: Why do you want to intern here?

Here is my suggested answer. “I want to intern here primarily for three reasons. Firstly,

I feel your business is aligned to my future career goals and I will get to LEARN INVALUABLE

SKILLS that will help me in the future. Secondly, it is clear you have a wealth of experience

at this company and you have strong work values and ethics. I want to use my time wisely during

the internship and get as much out of it as possible. If I undertake my intern here, I

am confident that will happen. Finally, one of the main reasons for undertaking this internship

is I want to develop the necessary WORK SKILLS AND VALUES to excel in my future career. Working

here will allow me to develop those skills and values, for sure.” Another great answer

to another internship interview question, which is why do you want to intern here? And

I like the fact that you are really showing a level of passion there. Those all-important

qualities that I spoke about at the beginning. You are demonstrating them there. And also,

you are explaining that they have a wealth of experience. They've got strong work values

and ethics. And you want those as part of your core attributes for the future. Next

question that we want to prepare for is: what are your strengths and weaknesses? Now, this

is a difficult question! We can all give off a number of strengths that are attractive

to a hiring manager or interviewer, but it's the weakness one that we have to be careful

with. So my tip for you, when responding to this intern interview question: what are your

strengths and weaknesses, is give 3 strengths and just 1 weakness. Good strengths to give

are the fact that you are ORGANIZED, you are SELF-MOTIVATED, which means you don't need

much supervision and you have a PASSION FOR LEARNING. Those are 3 really good strengths

to give. Now, when you give your weakness, tell the interviewer you are trying to improve

on that weakness, but don't give them a weakness that could be damaging to your chances of

getting this internship. Here is my suggested answer. “My weakness is, I sometimes spend

TOO MUCH TIME ON THE DETAILS, which can slow me down when trying to getting things completed

quickly. The weakness is born out of simply wanting to do a perfect job, but I am learning

to get things finished faster whilst still maintaining high standards. My strengths include

the fact I am very well ORGANIZED and I can PLAN MY WORK accordingly. I am also SELF-MOTIVATED

and I don’t need much supervision and I also have a natural passion for CONTINUOUS

LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT.” That is a brilliant answer! And what you will notice about my

response there is, I give the weakness first and I finish with my strengths, and I think

that's important because you are finishing on a high. We have basically turned around

the question - we are giving them the weakness and then the 3 strengths. That's a very powerful

answer! Next interview question for your internship interview. How would your friends describe

you in three words? Now, this is a tricky one because again, we could all say, my friends

think I'm a very positive, enthusiastic… I am great! But, here's my tip for answering

this question. Be HONEST in your answer. You don't have to give 3 brilliant words. You

could actually give two positive words or traits that your friends would describe you

by, and then give them one that identifies you are willing to learn. Let me give you

two answers to this question: How would your friends describe you in three words? “I

believe they would describe me as someone who is HONEST, someone who is LOYAL and also

possibly someone who can be SENSITIVE at times. My sensitivity is a positive trait in many

ways, as it means I genuinely care about my family, my colleagues and also my friends.”

Here is answer option number two. “I feel they would describe me as HARD-WORKING; someone

who is CONSCIENTIOUS and also someone who has high levels of INTEGRITY. I like to do

things the right way and I also believe you only get what you want in life through hard

work, dedication and commitment.” two really good answers there! And you can pick which

one is applicable to what your friends would say about you. Next internship question I

want you to prepare for is, what do you plan to do during your internship? My tip for this

is, show the interviewer you have a plan in place already of what you intend to do whilst

you there. This shows you are organized and that you want to get the most out of your

time whilst with the company. You will not just go through the motions… “I've got

to do an internship.” You are looking to get as much out of it as possible and you

have a plan in place. So that's the important word. I want you to say… “Yes, I've got

a plan in place and this is what I intend to do.” Here is my suggested answer to the

internship interview question: What do you plan to do during your time here? “I plan

to get the most out of my time with your company during this internship in three ways. I want

to first and foremost CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR COMPANY by being productive and helping the team where

possible. I also plan to LEARN FROM YOU how this industry

works and what has made you successful as a company. Finally, I plan to LEARN INVALUABLE

WORK SKILLS AND VALUES that will help me throughout my future career.” You can write down those

words that I've put in capitals which combine your plan of what you are going to do during

your internship. Next question is: what are your plans after you finish this internship

and you graduate from school? My tip for this is, unless you have definitive plans to work

elsewhere, say you are open to working for their organization in a specific role. It

often happens that interns end up back at the company they completed their internship

with. There's nothing wrong with saying, I'm open to that, because then that shows that

there is a benefit to them, that if you are really good during your internship, there

might be an opportunity for you later on, once you graduate. Here is my suggested answer

to this internship interview question. “To be truthful with you, I am very much open

to working here for your company in the role of [insert job title]. I carried out my research

before applying for this internship and you are clearly a forward thinking and innovative

company who has very high standards and ambitious plans for the future. This is an industry

that excites me, and I think it has a great future ahead. Providing you are happy with

my performance during the internship, and there is space for me here, I would very much

like to get my career under way with your company, if the opportunity arises.” So

that is attractive to them. So, what I do with a lot of my suggested answers is that

I look to add a BENEFIT to the interviewer, and that's what you are doing there. There

is a possibility that, if they're happy with you and you like it as well, that you would

work for them, because why would they not want you? If you are really good during the

internship and you show a great work ethic, high standards and you're willing to learn

from others, then why wouldn't they want you back? Because they know what you are like.

So, questions to ask in your internship interview, because they will say, do you have any questions

for us? Here’s 3 brilliant questions to ask at the end of your internship interview.

“What plans do you have for me during this internship?” Obviously, you already told

me what you would like to do. So you are now asking what would they like you to do? What

plans do they have for you? Second question… “In your experience, how can I get the most

out of my time here during the internship?” They will have had many other people there

during interns and they will be saying, you know, this is what you need to do during your

time. So that demonstrates that you really do want to get the most out of your time and

you're asking for their help and their experience, how you could get the most out of your time.

And finally, what are the future plans for your company over the next five to 10 years

or so? That shows that you are interested in what they are doing moving forward. And

again, you are willing to learn as you go along. Now, if you want more help, please
