Any advice on getting hired from an internship? I’m a recent grad about to start as an intern at my dream agency, but I’m terrified I’m gonna mess something up! Any advice on ending up with an offer?

My advice would be to try and get yourself on a project (perhaps even self-initiated) that serves as a final deliverable of your time during the internship.

In my case I said to my supervisor, it would be interesting to figure out X. I figured out X then created a strategic setup leading to a creative brief (demonstrating I understood their process and how I could inject my thinking). Shared it at the end and got to present it to the MD. Got an offer in my last week.

Of course, try to be as helpful as much as possible even outside of your team. Try and build relationships with everyone if you can. Show them that you're truly becoming a team player for whichever account you'll be shadowing. Would be happy to chat if you want to DM me.
