About the role
A business intern supports a team with research, spreadsheets, reports and day-to-day organisation. The interviewer is deciding whether you are organised, professional, comfortable with basic data and keen to learn, so the team can trust you with real tasks from your first weeks.
How to prepare
- Brush up on spreadsheet basics such as formulas, sorting, filtering and simple charts.
- Research the company and the team you would join so you can explain why it interests you.
- Prepare examples from school or volunteering where you organised something or met a deadline.
- Think of a time you researched a topic and turned it into something useful for others.
- Practise a short introduction about yourself, your course and what you want to learn.
Common mistakes
- Seeing the internship as a formality instead of a real job.
- Claiming spreadsheet skills you cannot show when asked.
- Not knowing what the company does.
