Show up to work everyday with a smile on your face, do your very best to own your module, even if you'll mostly be wrong (write the storyline, identify the analyses you want to do, have a perspective on the answer, be ready to present it to MDs), ask lots of questions, never sign-off without asking the other consultants on your team "is there anything else I can help with", and overcommunicate (at the very least, send end of week emails summarizing what you worked and your plan for next week). Track all your mistakes and never make the same one twice. Proactively ask for feedback.

In general, the content bar for interns is low. We don't need you to be a superstar; we need you to show that you want to learn, are willing to put in the effort to get better, and that you like this job. Do that and you'll be fine

Hi I am a new teacher intern hired yesterday. I will be teaching second grade. School reopens on Aug 17. I do not have my own materials. I do not know what materials are there in my classroom.

Can anyone help me with Referal?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
