Most past-interns would repeat the advice in the title of this blog post now that they've entered the 'real-world'. Networking with people at your internship is vital to getting the most out of your experience. Some internship's teach you a lot with hands-on experience and some borderline abuse you with coffee duties, but they both can be helpful. This is where networking comes in. It will allow you to be social with the people in your field, which gives you more insight into the positions and lifestyles you could potentially have yourself. It will help you bond with others, which can lead to more trust and a thus a better internship program. Finally, it can make you some strong connections which you can use in the future to land a job. We all know someone who was hired because of their 'connection'. Well, this is how many job interviews come about and it's the way the world works, so don't hesitate to network like crazy yourself.Talk to everyone you can, be friendly and ask questions (enthusiasm is the key in these). Knowing the right people becomes even more important in rough economies, just like we're experiencing now. It's rare to find someone who regrets doing an internship, even a rough one helps you learn, but make sure you network and take full advantage of the opportunity you have.
