Can anyone share the details about what should one do to get a PPO or else chances of getting a call back during the internship period? Tips and tricks for doing exceptionally well in internship.
That said, do read up on the basics of your assigned practice area (and general things like contract law) - it'll help you understand research issues better. Raising valid questions, thinking critically and showing genuine interest will set you further apart.
2. When assigned work, obtain as much clarity as you can.
3. If you need to clarify certain things in your final work product, go ahead and leave comments.
4. Take initiative - if you can, see if you can write an article or the like.
5. If your internship requires you to make a presentation, pick a fantastic topic and make it well-analyzed.
In sum, show enthusiasm, make it clear that you’re always happy to assist, keep making changes if you’re asked to - leave a mark :)
Be available 247 - don't leave the office till everyone else leaves.
Don't ask stupid questions every hour - Associates are busier than you.
Submit properly formatted work - use grammarly to avoid unnecessary spell/gram errors.
Dress up properly
