Start by treating it like a real role—show up on time, solve problems, and ask for more responsibilities. Master key tasks like diagnostics, hardware replacement, and malware removal. Document your work, communicate with your supervisor, and express your interest in staying long-term. 📈 Interns who take initiative often get hired or referred. And with freelance work or home services, you can earn $200–$500/week even as a beginner.
