Over here in the UK it's really hard to get a SA at the moment, there's lots of graduates in the same position as students and therefore it's a bit of a backlog. But you're right - I got my job through an internship and knuckling down. I brought out ideas if I thought they were relevant and useful, but otherwise I made no effort to stand out - people have to remember in these interships, as with any interview, ultimately they want to know if they can work with you as well as if you can DO the job. It's all about a balance. Some good tips here.

Frankly, the office trollop or manwhore may be kept on for providing a service. You've got to differentiate yourself from the pack somehow!
