It’s intern season at BFW/Marcum! As we conduct regular check-ins with our interns, we would like to share valuable insights from seasoned professionals. Help us out by answering this question: What makes a great intern? Share your comments below!👇

Great question. A good intern is looking for opportunities to learn new skills and contribute to the projects that they are involved with. We like to talk about engineering being self-directed continuous learning, and interns that exhibit curiosity, that are unafraid of asking questions, and are willing to dig into a little research are going to excel. A good intern mentor and supervisor is planning ahead to identify those opportunities and "clear the deck" for intern participation. This might mean that productivity occasionally temporarily takes a back seat to creating enriching experiences, but that is absolutely a great investment in the long term for the intern and the company.

I can't help but feel skeptical about this Creative Chaos internship program based on my experience with them last year. Their team came to my university, SZABIST Islamabad, and spent hours assessing my skills extensively, claiming it was for potential hiring. They took down all my details meticulously while giving a green light. However, after that lengthy evaluation process, I never received any emails, calls or communication from them regarding next steps or opportunities. It comes across as just another marketing gimmick to generate buzz without genuine intent to follow through properly. While internship promotions are understandable, leaving potential talents high and dry after such a rigorous screening reflects poorly on Creative Chaos' commitment to actually nurturing that talent. If they truly valued creativity and growth as they claim, basic professional courtesy demands providing closure or feedback instead of leading candidates on. Unless they demonstrate far more transparency and accountability this time, I have little hope this internship will be any different from their empty overtures last year. Creative Chaos needs to back up their lofty words with consistent actions that respect applicants' time and efforts. PS: You can also find in my past feed that I did posted about them last year when they gave me a green-light along some swags.
