Internships,
whether paid or not, are good ways to acquire practical
experience and figure out whether a field or an
organization is a good fit or not. For most students,
that's one of the best ways to get a foot in the door,
whether part-time during the school year or full-time
during summer vacation. Indeed, internships can lead to
full-time employment upon graduation and ease the
transition into the workforce.
In
addition to rendering a resume more compelling and
making for interesting discussions during interviews, an
internship in the field where you study can bring out
that practical side that will make the "theory" you
learn in class more relevant and easy to "visualize."
Internships are made for "novices" and, therefore, when
organizations accept to take on an intern, they feel a
responsibility to mentor that person. The relationship
that can be developed with someone more experienced can
prove invaluable in terms of acquiring new knowledge and
making new contacts (yes, it is appropriate to refer to
the concept of "networking").

Editor's Note |
|
Applying for an
internship requires the same commitment as applying for a job.
The same principles apply for both. Even if an internship is
not remunerated, don't take it for granted. You want the
experience, not (only) the pay. |
