What do you look for in an intern?

Yes, they do!

Also, if you make a mistake, just go to your intern supervisor and say, "I messed up on XYZ, and wanted to let you know. I fixed it, but just in case there's any backlash, here is what happened."

It's really hard to do this, but it demonstrates a lot of maturity and your intern supervisor will trust you with more responsibility.

You're not perfect and neither is your superviser. You're not expected to know it all. So ask lots of questions, keep your superviser looped in and don't try to hide a mistake or hide from your superviser if something happens! It just snowballs and adds more work for everyone!
