Here's one of the posts on the site's blog: http://parkonthelot.com/how-to-be-a-rock-star-intern-or-pa/

1. Be 10 minutes early… to everything.

2. Be upbeat. Smile casually and make eye contact with everyone – learn everyone’s name and use them.

3. Be willing to do any job that needs to be done – with enthusiasm.

4. Be curious. Ask questions if you don’t know something. Make sure you’re not interrupting, but make sure you’re doing a task right.

5. Be the first one in and the last one to leave (if your school schedule permits).

6. Be ambitious. Always ask for more work whenever you’re finished with a job. Ask if you can organize something that you noticed is messy – a closet or bookcase or pantry shelves.

7. Be considerate. Ask for career advice only when the person has a free moment and seems open to helping.

8. Be fun to be around while still doing your job well.  Have a sense of humor. Someone once said, “take your work seriously but don’t take yourself seriously.”

Good luck!
