| How to Write a Report After an Internship Posted: 06 Sep 2018 01:00 AM PDT An internship report may be a requirement for you to complete your internship, but it is also a chance to share your experiences. Organization is important when writing an effective report. You will need a professional-looking title page, followed by a series of neatly-labeled sections describing your internship. If you share your experiences clearly and objectively, your report is likely to be a success. EditPost Internship Report Examples EditCreating the Title Pages and Formatting the Document - Number each page in the report. Make sure the page number is listed in the upper-right corner of each page you write, except for the title page. You can turn on the page number function by using the menu options in your word processor program's taskbar. It automatically marks the page numbers for you.[1]
- Having the page number enables readers to use your table of contents.
- Page numbers help you organize your report and replace missing pages.
- Make a cover page with the title of your report. The cover page is the first page your readers see. Type your title at the top in bold letters. An effective title describes what you did in the internship. Avoid adding any jokes or commentary about the internship here.[2]
- For example, you might write, "Internship Report On Investment Banking At Gringotts Bank."
- A generic title like "My Internship Report" is usually acceptable if you can't come up with anything else.
- Include your name and internship information on the cover page. Underneath the title, include the date of your internship. List your name, the name of your school, and any advisors you have. Also include the name and contact information of the organization you interned with.[3]
- For example, write "My Internship Report. Crimson Permanent Assurance. May-June 2018."
- Keep the information neat on the page. Center the text and leave space between each line.
- Mention any special acknowledgements on the next page. Title the page after the cover page as "Acknowledgement." This page gives you a chance to thank anyone who helped you out along the course of your internship.[4]
- You may wish to mention your school supervisor, work supervisor, and anyone else you worked with.
- For example, say, "I would like to thank Dr. No for giving me the opportunity to do this internship."
- Include a table of contents if your report is long. A table of contents page is useful if your report has 8 or more sections. In a table of contents, you list the section titles of your report along with page numbers where each section can be found. It helps your reader navigate to specific parts they want to read.[5]
- The acknowledgement page should be listed on the table of contents. The title page does not need to be listed.
- If your report includes graphs or figures, you may wish to include a separate table of contents indicating where they can be found.
- Write an abstract page outlining your internship. An abstract, also called a summary, gives your reader a brief overview of your internship duties. In it, explain who you worked for and what you did for them. Keep this part short, briefly touching upon your work and experiences in a single paragraph.[6]
- For example, start with, "This report details a summer internship at Stark Industries in Malibu, CA. I worked in the Robotics Division."
EditWriting the Body of the Report - Title each section of your report. Whenever you reach a new section in your report, move to a new page. Come up with a descriptive title for the section. Place it at the top of the page, centered and in bold letters.[7]
- For example, a section might be called, "Overview of Gringotts Bank."
- A few simple section titles are "Introduction," "Reflections on the internship," and "Conclusion."
- Open your introduction with facts about your employer. Use your introduction to expand upon your summary. Start by going more in-depth about your employer's operations. Discuss the organization, their position in their field, what they do, and how many people they employ.[8]
- For example, write, "RamJack provides service robots to countries across the world. As a pioneer in its industry, Ramjack is uniquely qualified to clean up environmental disasters."
- Explain the part of the organization you worked for. Any company or organization is made up of different branches. Detail the part you were involved in, getting as specific as possible. Use this part of the introduction to lead into your personal experience.[9]
- For example, mention, "From May to June 2018, I worked in Ramjack's electrical engineering division as an intern along with 200 other workers."
- Remember that this is a story about you, so use your personal style to engage readers.
- Describe your responsibilities during the internship. Explain what you did during the internship. Go into as much detail as possible. Even if a task seems routine at first, such as cleaning or writing memos, it can contribute meaning to your report.[10]
- You might write, "My responsibilities at Ramjack included soldering electrical wiring, but I also did component maintenance."
- Write about what you learned during the internship. Transition from discussing work responsibilities to results. Come up with a few examples of what you gained by being an intern. Go in-depth in describing how these changes came about.[11]
- Think about ways you have changed as a person, not only as a worker.
- For instance, you might say, "I learned a lot about how to communicate with people in the community who are very different from me."
- Evaluate your experience with the internship. You can critique the organization you worked for, but be as fair and neutral as possible. Stick to facts and concrete examples, focusing on what you learned and what you can apply in the future. Avoid bad-mouthing anyone.[12]
- You might write, "Ramjack would benefit from improved communication. Often, the supervisors were unclear about what they expected from me."
- Reflect on how you performed in the internship. Conclude your report by discussing how the experience went. Be objective, expressing any positive and negative experiences about it. You can include any feedback you received during your internship.[13]
- You might write something like, "At first I was too quiet, but I learned to be bolder and more confident so that management took my ideas seriously."
- Use an appendix section to include other resources. The appendix section is for journals, published works, photos, recordings, and any other supplemental material you have. The amount of material you have will differ depending on your internship duties. Try to include some material to give the reader a taste of your accomplishments during the internship.[14]
- For example, if you worked in communications, include press releases, ads, letters, or tapes you produced.
- If you have nothing to add, you may be required to write a paragraph about why you have no supplemental material.
EditPracticing Good Writing Techniques - Organize your information into an outline before writing. Before you tackle the body of the report, break your experience down into parts. Create a rudimentary outline on paper, listing off the points you wish to tackle in each section.
- This helps you stay organized. You want the sections to flow together well without repeated information.
- Write at least 5 to 10 pages. Give yourself enough space in the report to convey your experiences in detail, but avoid going off-topic. Longer reports may end up feeling less focused and polished. For most reports, a medium length is appropriate.[15]
- If you don't have enough material to stretch out the paper, you are better off leaving it shorter.
- You may need to write more than 10 pages, especially if you had an extensive internship or are studying for a high-level degree.
- The page requirement may differ depending on your internship program.
- Maintain an objective tone throughout the report. Your report is academic material and should be treated as such. Represent yourself positively by sticking to facts and concrete examples describing your experience. Be thoughtful with your writing and avoid sounding overly critical.[16]
- For instance, you can say, "I had a difficult time working at Wayne Industries, but I learned a lot." Avoid saying "Wayne Industries is the worst."
- An example of fact-based writing is, "Wayne Industries has a 75% share in the gadget market."
- Use specific examples to describe your internship. Avoid speaking in generalizations. Show your experiences on the paper by giving examples of any topics you bring up. Concrete details allow your reader to picture your internship experience.[17]
- For example, write, "Acme Corporation left out an unsecured bundle of dynamite. I felt unsafe working there."
- You might write, "My supervisor sent me to take pictures of a river dolphin that washed up near a remote Bolivian village."
- Include observations you have about real life. Life insights go beyond the scope of schoolwork. They may include the organization you worked for, the people who work there, and the world at large. These insights vary depending on the scope of your internship, but if you have them, they show that you have grown as a person.[18]
- You might work in a lab and write, "The employees are on their feet all day, but they know they are helping people, so they arrive in the morning brimming with energy.
- Another example is, "Oscorp is very busy, and the employees would be happier with additional help. This is a problem for many companies across the country."
- Review your report after writing it. Take the time to read through your report at least once. Note any sentences that don't flow together well. Pay attention to the experiences you describe in the report as well as the report's overall tone. The entire report needs to feel cohesive, objective, and clear to the reader.
- Reading out loud can help, as well as letting someone else read your work.
- Edit the report before turning it in. You may have to go back a few times and make changes. Refine your report as much as necessary to make it great. When you are satisfied with it, turn it into your supervisor to let them read about your experience.
- Be aware of any submission deadline your program has. Give yourself plenty of editing time by writing the report before then.
- To make your report look professional, use resume paper and place it in a loose-leaf notebook or thesis binder.
- Print the report on single-sided sheets of paper in a plain font like you would for any school report.
- Be as detailed as possible when describing your internship.
- Let your voice shine through your writing, but stay objective.

| How to Choose Bluetooth Headphones Posted: 05 Sep 2018 05:00 PM PDT Deciding on whether you should opt for wireless Bluetooth headphones or standard wired ones will be dependent on personal preference. Like all things, both choices have pros and cons but you might find that the Bluetooth option has favourable specifications for your day to day needs. EditSelecting the Type of Bluetooth Headphones You Need - Choose Bluetooth headphones for wireless connectivity. Bluetooth headphones have the advantage of being wireless which can make carrying them that much easier. While the benefit of going wireless means less fumbling with cables and cords, Bluetooth headphones need to be charged on a regular basis. Furthermore, if you forget to pay attention to the battery life, it can run out during mid-use which can be frustrating so think about where and when you'll be using them to inform your decision.[1]
- If you're working outside all day and want to listen to music in the meantime, pay close attention to the talk/music time labelled on the Bluetooth headphones to make sure it'll last for as long as you need it to.[2]
- Using Bluetooth headphones will also drain the battery of the device it's connected to so remember to contemplate your smartphone's battery life as well.[3]
- Get headphones that can switch between wired and wireless. Some Bluetooth headphones have the option to attach a wire if you want to avoid the trouble of keeping an eye on the battery life. If you'd prefer to have that freedom, look for the models that offer both.[4]
- Pick the lighter earbud variety for quick and easy use. There's a slight difference between Bluetooth earbuds and Bluetooth headphones. Earbuds fit directly into your ear and weigh close to nothing. These are great if you simply want to get up and go out as they're very easy travel with. However they generally have lower quality sound compared to over-the-ear headphones due to not being able to drown out as much outside noise.[5] This decision should be based on whether you need mobility or not and if you think it's worth the compromise.
- Get over-the-ear headphones for the highest quality sound. Over-the-ear headphones have superior sound to earbuds due to having larger and better technology. They also have huge noise reduction that blocks out surrounding sound from the outside, thereby isolating your music.[6] The only major drawback is that they can be heavy and cumbersome.
- Choose Bluetooth headphones with a microphone for phone calls. If your job entails making and taking calls throughout the day, there are Bluetooth headphones specifically made for that purpose. These are not for listening to music but rather for talking to people without the need of handling the phone itself.[7]
- These headphones can be especially useful if you're in the car because they allow you to talk hands-free.
- Bluetooth headphones designed for phone-calls also have a longer battery life with some providing as much as 10 hours of talk time in one sitting.[8]
- Check the 'specifications' section of a headphone brand to get an idea of its capabilities. You might discover useful features you hadn't thought of that you may appreciate. Some headphones might cost more due to a feature you don't even need, so explore the specs and determine if you're getting your money's worth. There are many different styles and varieties so it's worth seeing what is available.[9]
EditConsidering Your Purchase Before You Buy - Make sure you have a device that is compatible with Bluetooth first. The majority of smartphones are perfectly capable of connecting to Bluetooth headphones, but it is worth checking your phone's settings before making your purchase just in case.[10]
- Remember that using Bluetooth around the house can affect other devices. If you're going to be using your Bluetooth headphones primarily in your own home, Bluetooth headphones can actually interfere with other wireless devices such as cordless home-phones or your Wi-Fi router.[11] If you think this might become a problem for you, a solution can be to relocate your router within closer proximity of your computer.[12]
- Think about paying a little extra for better quality if you'll be using them often. If you're going to be using your headphones on a regular basis, you might want to spend a bit more on your purchase. This is because the Bluetooth equivalent of a wired set of headphones is going to cost more. If going wireless is a necessity for you, then forking out a little more cash may be the sensible choice, especially if you want to maintain high sound quality.[13]
- More expensive Bluetooth headphones don't necessarily have a longer battery life. $30-$40 headphones can have six and a half hours of talk/music time[14] while $300 headphones can have only up to four hours with one charge.[15]
- Use Bluetooth headphones to simplify your gaming setup. If you plan to buy headphones for gaming, then Bluetooth is a safe bet if you want versatility. Some Bluetooth headphones are compatible with gaming consoles in order to make handling the devices that much easier. These will often have microphones attached to give you the option of voice chat as well.[16]
- Choose Bluetooth if you listen to music while you work-out. Whether you're heading to the gym or going for a run outside, the earbud variety of Bluetooth headphones can really help give you the space you need to exercise. Wires can get tangled and in the way which is a good reason to choose Bluetooth in order to avoid the hassle.[17]
- This also applies to general travel. Less wires means less clutter. But don't forget to pay attention to the battery life.
- Varying types of Bluetooth headphones can have different processes to pair to your device, so have a look online to see how to connect yours.[18]

| How to Take a Steam Bath Posted: 05 Sep 2018 09:00 AM PDT The body has 2 ways of removing toxins, through the kidneys and through the skin. Toxins exit the skin via sweat and this is why people use steam baths. Over a period of 5 to 20 minutes in a steam bath, the skin will start sweating out all of the body's toxins and leave you looking and feeling healthier. EditPreparing for the Bath - Drink plenty of water before entering the bath. You'll be doing a lot of sweating in a short space of time in the steam bath and this can cause dehydration. Drink a couple of glasses of water before your steam bath to ensure you don't get dehydrated.[1]
- Wash your body rigorously. Make sure you get all the dirt out from your pores. Dirt on your body can block your pores and you could develop acne or spots. Blocked pores will prevent your body from efficiently secreting toxins.
- Avoid food for an hour before your bath. Much the same reasoning applies here as it does to not eating for an hour before going for a swim. Eating might make you feel bloated and might mess with your digestion, so it's best to avoid food for as long as you can before your bath.[2]
- If you must eat, eat something like light snacks or fruits.
- Stretch your body before the bath. Do some light stretching to loosen up and to help your body release some of the toxins from your pores. Stretching will also increase circulation which will help toxins leave your skin faster through sweat.[3]
EditUsing the Bath Correctly - Take a shower. Showering before a steam bath will help your body find its natural temperature, which will make the steam bath more effective. A warm shower is better than a cold shower but make sure your shower isn't too hot, you don't want to start sweating yet.[4]
- Wear a light cotton towel. For your steam bath to be most effective, the less clothes you wear going into the steam bath, the better. The more exposed you are, the easier it will be for your body to sweat out the toxins.[5]
- No jewellery or glasses either. The towel should be the only thing you wear.
- Ensure you have enough time to fully relax. Do not rush your steam bath. Try not to schedule your bath before appointments or other errands.You should be able to focus on relaxing and enjoying the bath.
- Turn off your phone or leave it in a secure location where it won't disturb you.
- Relax in the bath. It's up to you to decide whether you want to sit down or lie down in the bath. The most important thing though is that you relax and enjoy the process. Clear your mind of your stresses and problems and enjoy the time you spend in the steam room.
- Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. For maximum relaxation and enjoyment, breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, holding your breath in between for a few seconds. With your eyes closed, you can focus on your other senses and concentrating on your breathing is a great way to relax and de-stress.
- Drink plenty of water during the bath. Bring a bottle of water with you into the steam room. With such high temperatures in the steam room, you'll be sweating much more than normal and therefore your body will be losing moisture faster than normal.[6]
- Drink frequently from the bottle of water to ensure you don't get dehydrated in the steam room.
- Stay in the steam room for 5 to 20 minutes. If after 5 minutes you've had enough and you want to leave the steam room, then do so. However, don't stay in the steam room for longer than 20 minutes at a time as you'll put your body at risk of overheating.[7]
- If you start to feel dizzy, nauseous, or uncomfortable at any time in the steam room, leave right away and find a cool place.
EditRecovering from the Steam Bath - Cool down slowly with water and air. You might have the urge to find the coldest place you possibly can after leaving the steam room but you should resist that urge. You could put your body in shock or start shivering. Instead, find a cool place and let your body naturally cool down.[8]
- Drink more water to restore the moisture you lost in the steam bath.
- Take another shower. Again, you might want to have the coldest shower you can after leaving the steam room but you'll only risk putting your body in a state of shock from sudden temperature changes. The shower should restore your body to its natural temperature.[9]
- Start out with a warm shower and slowly reduce the temperature until it's nice and cold.
- Some people will take a cool shower halfway through their steam bath so that the constant changes between hot and cold temperature increases the beneficial effects of their bath. This is only recommended for people who have been taking steam baths for a long time as they know what their bodies can deal with.
- Relax for a few minutes. It's important that you take some time and chill out after the steam bath. Most people feel that once the bath is over relaxation time is over and it's time to get back to the hustle and bustle of the world. This ruins their relaxation time.
- Take a few minutes and allow yourself to chill out and relax. You have already ensured that you have time to fully relax and you might as well enjoy this time.
- The first time you take a steam bath, try to not stay in there for more than 10 minutes. Your body should get used to the experience over time and you shouldn't go straight for the 20-minute maximum.
- Pregnant women, those with heart disease, and those with high or low blood pressure should not take steam baths. If you have another medical condition, ask your doctor before taking a steam bath.
