So I have been checking WorkNet lately and there are a ton of wonderful internship opportunities available! It is the most perfect time to apply because many employers are looking for summer and fall interns. Why get an internship? Well, an internship in the industry that you have interest in can serve as terrific learning and hands-on experience.

A lot of students complain about how some classes aren’t beneficial because they are expected to just read out of a textbook. Where is the real-life experience? If you are ready to test the waters before jumping right in, an internship is perfect.

 After interning with a company, you might actually realize that this isn’t the right career for you. That experience could save you months and even years of time. Of course, there might be times when you have to do a lot of running around and perform various jobs that might seem like they have nothing to do with the profession itself. But this is all part of the job, many times you have to work your way up. So stay ahead of the competition and apply now!
