Your internship is a whirlwind, between work, building relationships with your team, and learning to navigate new work environments.  As you approach its completion, make sure you keep focused on your ongoing mission - continuing to build your profile within your team(s) and/or the industry you're targeting full-time. Updating your resume will make it easier when fall recruiting begins.

Make an outstanding resume, starting now

As your internship concludes, make sure you consider how the experience you gained is going to be worked into your resume. 

1. Define the start and finish of your internship project(s): having a defined beginning and end to your project, along with defined goals, allows you to point to specific accomplishments. It will also likely increase job satisfaction. Even if what you are worked on was open-ended, make sure you have concrete responsibilities for your portion of the project.
