You have an interview for an internship that you are very interested in. Discuss the ways in which you can display professionalism in this situation

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: Students' answers may vary. Your actions, attire, body language, tone of voice and attention to accuracy in written documents are all ways to express professionalism. Do some research to prepare for the interview. This will show the organization that your interest is serious and you are motivated to prove it. Express appreciation for the interviewer's time in meeting with you. Wear clothing that is appropriate to the situation, in this case a conservative outfit like a suit. During the interview pay attention to your body language. Make eye contact, and sit up straight and attentively in your chair. Try not to glance at your watch, as it will appear that you are bored or at least anxious to leave. After you have left the interview, it is good etiquette to send a thank-you note. Be sure to spell check and proofread it to show that you are serious about your interest in this internship.
