Get to Know Your Own Background!

One big mistake I made early-on in my own internship search was that I forgot to spend time reflecting on my own background. Don't get me wrong.... I spent a ton of time learning about various internships and the companies that offered them, so I wouldn't consider myself lazy by any means. However, when it came time to write my résumé and talk to recruiters, I struggled to explain how my past experiences were relevant and applicable.

​Below find a few links to personality quizzes you can use to start reflecting on your background. To-date, my favorite is 16 Personalities which takes about 15-30 minutes to complete.
