How do I make the most of my internship?
Hello! I am a current high school senior, and I am interested in going to law school and pursuing a career in law! Right now, I am currently interning for my local courts. The primary thing that I do is observe court cases, and interact with court officials and employees. My question is, how do I make the most of my internship, and how can I make it beneficial in advancing my career goals? Are there any specific questions I should be asking or any specific things I should be doing?
When should I say "I am familiar with"? When should I say "I am profficient at"? When can I call myself an expert or SME?
When you apply for jobs, there is usually a marker for time worked at 1-2 years, 5+ years, and 10+ years. At what point should I qualify myself as familiar, profficient, or an expert? Does having a credential help lessen the time required to be considered an expert?
