Bones: The Complete Seventh Season
out on DVD & Blu-ray on October 9th
Squint 101: Internship
Advice
In Bones, Booth coined
the term Squints for Brennan’s interns because they’re the ones who have to look
at evidence really closely at a crime scene. In this feature, we
will offer internship advice, using examples from Squints featured on the show,
on how to knock the socks off your supervisors and be an ass-kicking
intern.
Always Take
Notes
Intern Vincent Nigel Murray
is one of the lucky one when he was born with a retentive memory, enabling him
to memorize trivia and important facts and notes, without having to write
anything down. However, most people aren’t born with such gift so
during your internship, always take a notepad with you and take notes whenever
your supervisor tells you any information or whenever you participate in any
meetings. It’s always good to have something to refer back to instead of
pestering your superiors with questions they’ve already addressed.
Work Hard and Reap the
Benefits
Wendell Bray is like most
interns – he comes from a modest family and he received help to pay for his
college education. Throughout his internship with
the Jeffersonian, Bray worked hard and juggled schooling and other
extracurricular activities, including participating in a hockey team.
When Bray’s scholarship was pulled due to lack of funding, the
Jeffersonian team made sure he was able to stay in school and keep his
internship, proving that hard work and pleasing your employers pay off in the
end.
Stay Out of Office
Drama
Clark Edison is a
Jeffersonian’s intern who’s strictly all about the job at hand. He
finds interpersonal drama overwhelming and believes it’s a roadblock on
performing well on the job. So beware of all the water-cooler gossips you
overhear – stay focus on the task and leave office drama to others.
Don’t Rush Through
Your Work
Daisy Wick is Jeffersonian’s
least successful intern due to her clumsiness and her habit of blurting
outwhatever she’s thinking. Dr. Brennan finds her irritating,
especially after she shattered a skull, and has thus fired her twice.
Unlike Wick, interns should exercise caution on their work and pay
attention to details; don’t do a haphazard job only so you can be the first one
done.
Share Your Talent
& Background
When it comes to
internships, you want to leave an impression on your supervisors, albeit a
positive one of course, as they are capable of someday offering you a job.
Don’t follow into intern Arastoo Vaziri’s footsteps in hiding your
talent and past experience because you never know when it may actually help you
out and push you ahead of the competition.
