I was an intern last year and I didn't really learn a lot, but I made sure I spoke and interacted in conversations and also made sure everybody knew what I wanted to learn and what career I wanted to go into. 5 months of leaving, I was contacted by the Editor about if I wanted a full time position. I went back and now in a position where I have real influence within the business.
"If you're a wallflower, don't even do internships." Gary I don't often disagree with you, but I do disagree on this statement you have made. If you are a wallflower, THE ONE THING you need to do is practice your social skills and work out that "muscle." I say, if you are a wallflower, DO INTERNSHIPS. DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET BETTER AT MOVING AWAY FROM THAT WALL.
I Know this is old but if ur a wall flower your not gonna change by talking to ppl because you don't talk to ppl in the first place because your a wall flower in the first place
This isn't just for interns! This is the winning formula for any setting. It's how I have built my career and how I got through school. Relationships = everything
I am working somewhere right now where everyone has their heads down, they don't respond to friendly conversations, people hate their jobs... I even had someone directly ignore my, "good morning" as we got into the elevator. Ain't nobody got time! I would rather be social and talkative than a cold person.
Networking is key. Good manners go a long way. Especially speaking to the opposite gender. If you're a man, listen closely to the women that you work with, make frequent eye contact, they will admire your dedication in being a person that gives them an interpersonal regard. Ask them how to do things properly. This demonstrates that you respect their experience and knowledge.
way to turn this into something sexist when it didn’t need to be. Everyone should respect each other period. not sure why u feel the need to belittle men and make them feel bad about their gender. generalizing men is not a healthy behavior and ignorance/generalizing people is honestly one of the biggest issues in today’s world
@@gabriellajones7917 but if I say, hey women, listen closely to the men you work with, and respect their experience and knowledge, then that would somehow be sexist right. Like why bring sex at all into this conversation? Why acknowledge the fact that men have to do this instead of saying everyone should do this for each other? Sex has no relation to this circumstance and therefore it was not only unnecessary but also sexist. Btw love how you are a woman telling me that this isn’t sexist lol
Love this one, Gary - thank you. Im not particularly advanced in my career, but I have a job that people think is cool (for a good company). I get asked about how to get the most out of an internship, how to interview,how to advance in a career. My answer is always some version of: Find loose connections. Find a connection between what you currently do and what you'd like to do. Then give the people involved a reason to engage with you.
I'm interning work from home too... It's suck.. The seniors suck... The project suck... The client suck... Im just counting days til it end... I'm tired... Monday are more hateful than usual... Weekend I just want to look at the wall and shout this suck
I got my marketing internship, which was a requirement to graduate, from connections I got working in the factory part of the company. The production manager would always go through and talk to everyone, which I loved, and we would have longer conversations about college because he went to the one I was attending. Then when I needed the internship I hit him up asking if they had anything and the rest is history.
I have a video production company and I have an intern in which I am teaching him hands on techniques that took me years to learn, shortening his learning curve also producing more creators to expand my team. Interns should learn from the big dogs to become one. Thanks for all your content Mr.VEE

UH-OH MONKEY I’m doing an internship now, and, not receiving and hands on training. I’m all alone. Is that how an internship should be
so true! :) I am 20 and i am so happy i learnt asap, that its not wealth, what moves the world, its the connections between (wealthy) people... My no1 priority is to make as many friends as possible and use them to survive ;)
Totally agree...where I did my co-op they were so far behind in payroll and people thought I was crazy to stay but I kept telling everyone the experience I got vs other students was priceless...I went from CAD operator to lead electrical engineer by 20...and the owner mentored me to start my own computer engineering company...that lead me on the path to where I am today
Great Advice Gary. Also be yourself so others can see who you really are and have the courage to make the first move as nothing can be created without that first action
and even at 40 in my animal rescue life it was the people I met through helping another rescue that helped me to build my team for my own rescue...and the other rescues I helped still share tips with me
Thankyou . I was really confused about my position at my internship, i kept consulting people around me but this two minutes video is what my heart was looking for.
Hi Gary. I just started my second internship and I have to totally agree with you. I learned that intern has to get skills or connections or both and if not then he or she has to relize that the company dont have anything to offer to an intern maybe they most likely dont have anyhting to offer to new employee.
Wow. that “tenacity” as it sounded to me felt like an entire civilization alone, hitting a new milestone while paving the present, built on prospectives from and on a positive meanfull livable near days in this future. Many Compliments to the video!💐💐💐💐💐
Interning atm for small British retailer business & fully appreciate this. ALTHOUGH have almost finished implementing their snap chat account and habits. Tccchhyyyeaaaahhh Gaaryyy
Shared this with my Daughter. Most important to follow someone who knows what the fuck is going on! Thank you for your insight. Makes more impact coming from you than "Dad"
I'm a right wing conservative. My intern is left, like two boys sharing soap, I respect his point of view, i don't like it. He opened my eyes in many ways.
Most videos are can be like nutritional healthy food, in that you prepare bite size portions on your plate, take in mouthful, chew it up, hate or love the taste, swallow it, digest it and extract the nutrients that make you stronger. This video was like taking the same nutrients that will make you stronger and injecting it right into your muscles. Well done G!
I could not agree more. I am currently working as an intern in motorsports. For real, the office work is boring as hell. They do not let you do much as an intern. Nevertheless, it is crazy how many new contacts I made. This is what is going to help you in your future. So to all my fellow interns: Use this time to make connections!!!
We hope our media internship teaches more than networking. Recent successes include a cameraman at The Masters for CBS who started with us each summer when just 12. Another actor intern just got featured in several national tv adverts and a music video that just busted 30 million views in just one week. We aim high ;- Thanks Gary V !!
I think its funny how everyone just talks about their internship experiences while nobody talks about those who keep getting fucking rejected for every dam thing!!!!
Keep trying! It took me 3 denials and a success on my 4th time (when I gave up and said I’d try again in the fall). I’m actually sitting in my car in the parking lot, waiting for my first day to start.
This was so cool to watch. I just started my summer internship this week, and one of the first books on the reading list they gave me was all about networking, which I just finished an hour ago. It totally shifted my mindset on how to network and what networking is. Oh, all of the opportunities I missed last week! Well I won't miss them next week! A lot of what the book said was just like what you say about the need to stop being a 19 year old dude who is trying to close on the first date. lol. Thanks!
I can't really hack it... my internship is working from home on digital media stuff for a music fest in Minneapolis. I only have one supervisor (who is more of a music person) and I guess that's the only one I can network with at all!
In a world of thousands of hours of self-improvement bullshit, this 2:39 video is the master key that opens the door to allow all your self-improvement learnings to flourish. If you don't do this, you may as well not have learned anything. Fucking A man
on my first internship I talk to them but it looks like they don't want me to have a conversation with :'> because they are too old than me. I think on my 2nd internship if they hired me I think I apply this kind of advice thank you ^^
The idea of asking people that are in college debt to work for free seems very much predatory to me people that have billions of dollars are always asking you to do stuff for free
I was an intern last year and I didn't really learn a lot, but I made sure I spoke and interacted in conversations and also made sure everybody knew what I wanted to learn and what career I wanted to go into. 5 months of leaving, I was contacted by the Editor about if I wanted a full time position.

How did u know what business to work with for free ?
Update bro. What’s your career path now?

@@codetyrese7034 but people can change.
True Pat Daley i think he’s saying: focus on improving your actual strengths rather than fixing your weaknesses
I'm a wallflower was an intern and got hired. Terrible advice.
This isn't just for interns! This is the winning formula for any setting. It's how I have built my career and how I got through school. Relationships = everything
Where to find companies to do internship
This tip really gets you real far in anything! Just by being that person who says hello or are positive around you, gets you the connections
YOU JUST NEED TO CARE, TO MAKE THAT LITTLE DIFFERENCE FOR SOMEONE
This is completely tru, i missed such a great opportunity ahh, but it sucks when u have anxiety, and low self esteem in general.
"It's the people that matter" - absolutely! Great video 👍
thanks indeed for making finding jobs easier!
Looks fake

Imagine doing an internship at home because of quarantine... that's my life now and i feel like i'm learning nothing :/
SAME HERE!!! I have to do an online one for graduation!
Ya it sucks when you're fully wfh
It gets all the more difficult when you have a difficult manager, who knows nothing but to criticize even the dumb shit you are doing...
To do online to graduate. Try spending time at Consumerchoice (email: internship@consumerchoice.com), lets spend time there together ahaha
I'm interning work from home too... It's suck.. The seniors suck... The project suck... The client suck... Im just counting days til it end... I'm tired... Monday are more hateful than usual... Weekend I just want to look at the wall and shout this suck

I think I speak for everyone when I say; Thank you.
so true! :) I am 20 and i am so happy i learnt asap, that its not wealth, what moves the world, its the connections between (wealthy) people... My no1 priority is to make as many friends as possible and use them to survive ;)
Gary. Thank you. I'm going into a three month internship and this had given me even MORE guidance as to how to attack it.
Totally agree...where I did my co-op they were so far behind in payroll and people thought I was crazy to stay but I kept telling everyone the experience I got vs other students was priceless...I went from CAD operator to lead electrical engineer by 20...and the owner mentored me to start my own computer engineering company...that lead me on the path to where I am today
Great Advice Gary. Also be yourself so others can see who you really are and have the courage to make the first move as nothing can be created without that first action
I am now an intern and this changed my mindset. It’s now about getting connections and networking!
I'm starting my internship tomorrow. Really needed this
how did it go?

in an internship right now....I'm doing it wrong lol. Gotta adjust
How did that internship go?
How'd it go?
I wish I was told this when I started out in my industry.
Keep in mind this is really true for marketing and things like that - in product teams this is def not the case
Major key Gary🔑 MAJOR!
Sometimes Its not what you know, its Who you know

I admire this man very much..... Hope I'll get into his cup.
Harsh, but reality. Thank you gonna do it right this time
All he is saying is, its not about what you know, its about who you know. So get to know people
Thank you for opening eyes wider
This is great advice! It should be a mandatory watch for all college students thinking about internships.
Much needed video man, thank you. Going into my first internship next month, definitely will take your advice.
Keeping it real ! Reaffirming my thoughts Gary. Thank You !
Thank you Gary! Very useful I now realize how important is to create relationships !
Thannks a ton! This has literally boosted my confidence!

Powerful message.
Love the Wainwright shoutout.
And this is not an excuse to just chat up the hotties in the office ...
Lol
hahahah so true sir very correct
Hahahahah bro don’t kill me 😂😂☠️
When your doing online youll see no hotties ahahaha Consumerchoice (email: internship@consumerchoice.com)
this is soooo true.

Very important!! Thank you for sharing
Great content , looking good Gary !
Internships are overrated. Most companies make them do grunt work, better off developing skills on your own.
Getting coffee as an intern is a myth. All of the internships I've had I have done have been hands on.
This was so cool to watch. I just started my summer internship this week, and one of the first books on the reading list they gave me was all about networking, which I just finished an hour ago.

Excelent advice for college students!
All engineers left the chat**
Bro this guy makes me go "tchhhhh!"
I could use some interns...
wow the fluffy husky pup took my attention for a sec lol
what if people hate you Gary during intern? for being underestimated as a amateur who knows nothing ?
like he said, find a way to hack it
DAMN, this is not a flock my internship start tomorrow 😳
What's a flock? And how did your internship go?
@@h.7537 he got fired for smoking weed on the first day in the office
What if I am painfully shy😢
hey gary could you elaborate a bit on the "if youre lucky enough to be a developer" bit
Dope brother 100,000
Thank you for this! Any advice on how to go about getting an internship? I'm going to start the hunt next year (only a sophomore in college.)
This is fucking awesome!
AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok 👌
I saw this video 3 weeks too late
How old can an intern be?
45+?
on my first internship I talk to them but it looks like they don't want me to have a conversation with :'> because they are too old than me.
I think on my 2nd internship if they hired me I think I apply this kind of advice thank you ^^
GREAT VIDEO
He is like Mr. Bean.... !!!!
The idea of asking people that are in college debt to work for free seems very much predatory to me people that have billions of dollars are always asking you to do stuff for free
A lot of internships are paid
