During my internship, one of the VPs told me I need to be “more proactive,” but I’m not sure what that really means. I thought I was doing okay. Anyone been in a similar situation and turned things around?

Hey! totally get where you're coming from. "Be more proactive" can feel super vague, but from my experience it usually means you should think a step ahead: anticipating what the team might need, asking for work when things are slow, or even prepping drafts before you're asked. Don’t take it as a personal knock – lots of interns hear this. Best thing you can do now is reflect on when you waited vs. took initiative, and next time, show you're switched on and eager to help.
Hope this helps!
