What advice would you give?

As an intern my suggestion for you is to make yourself indispensable and have a great attitude. You should always be looking for ways to make the people around you lives easier. Also, keep in mind that it is not always about being perfect at what you do. Ask a lot of questions and be yourself because those things will get you just as far as your skills.
