Mystery often surrounds The Summer Internship. It's likely you have never done one before and are unclear about what to expect. Plus, with the start date so far away, it either can play in your mind for a prolonged period, or you out it on the list things ‘I’ll Get Around To Addressing At Some Point, Maybe’. Either option is not ideal. You need to go into this with your A-game so you are prepared for everything.

And I was sold." - Second Year Fast Streamer, and former 'SDIPer'
