Peer feedbackInternshipsYour introduction

Come prepared

Make every minute count.

1

Bring the role

Have the job description—or a target role—ready so the conversation can stay specific.

2

Know your story

Be ready to connect your experiences, interests, and strengths to the opportunity.

3

Expect candor

The goal is useful feedback you can apply immediately, not a perfect first run.
