How should I prepare for my first day as an intern?

On the first day as an intern, first of all you want to be there early - half an hour early. You want to wear a suit. You want to dress your best. Afterwards you can see / feel the culture of the place. You want make a really good first impression and going to work as an intern usually in the first week dress your best because you're going to be walked around - you going to meet 8 million people. First bring a little notebook to write down everything: who you meet, phone numbers, important information. Have this with you throughout the entire experience: a) its great when you're done, b) while you're there you can flip through and say this number of so and so. Write everything down but get that notebook in advance. Have it on your first day because that will be huge - you're going to be introduced to everybody and get a goodnight's rest - don't fly there the night before. If you want the day before maybe figure out how you're going to get there, if its a new city / if its a new place so you know where you go - scout it out. Do a little research so when you walk in you're prepared and you're ready to kick butt.
