hi guys. I’m only 21, female, have been working as an industrial mechanic for almost 2 years. I have a degree in electrical technology. I’m putting in my 2 weeks at my current job for an electrical engineering internship position. (3 months long) I’m not guaranteed a job after the internship. Do you guys have any advice for someone who has been in the field but not on the engineering side of things. Or any advice to help stand out during the internship period?

Generally, be the best teammate you can be. You want to network as much as possible while trying to gain trust by producing quality work. These internships fall under 3 general classes:

1. Community Outreach, company selects lucky locals to promote community engagement, usually doesn't translate into a full time position, work given is very low value,
2. University students sophomore/junior year, competitive interview process to identify high ceiling individual to add to talent pipeline, work provided may be similar to Engineer 1 or 2 levels,
3. If smaller company, may be summer temp workers to burn down late outstanding administrative work, such as updating spreadsheets or field verifications. This may translate to a future job opportunity. Just make the most of any of the above.

This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
