The primary objective of most interns is to receive training and network within a company, sometimes leading to a full-time job. Internships are common within the arts, culture, and journalism industries.

Enthusiasm for the role, a willingness to learn, strong communication, asking questions, reaching out for help, and the ability to work well with others impact your salary as an intern. Likewise, those with more industry and job-specific skills are more valuable to employers.
Since you're starting from the bottom, you won't have as much leverage in intern roles, but your experience and enthusiasm can make all the difference. After a job offer, emphasise why you want to work for that specific employer, what you love about the industry and the role, and what you'll bring to the position that other interns will not. Likewise, use any competing job offers as leverage, explaining to prospective employers that while you've got a strong desire to work for them, another company has made you a higher offer.
