When I supervised interns as an editor at university presses, I told 
them  that they should keep a file of copies of every piece of 
writing they had a hand in generating (memos, dustjacket copy, forms, 
notes on meetings, emails, reports). I also told them that I would 
ask them at the end to draft a letter of recommendation  for 
themselves, outlining all the tasks and projects they had done as 
interns, skills they had acquired, things they'd learned about the 
world of publishing--to which I'd add the words of praise. Saved me a 
lot of time on the recommendations and motivated them to think about 
their work from a wider perspective.

PS I am copying all your comments to my daughter who has just started 
her first internship (in fashion design). Thanks!
