Internships

This summer do you have Career plans? I never did, unless a local job at Borders counted. In regards to future career growth, internships provide excellent opportunities for students. They go beyond informational interviews and allow for hands on contact with the actual work behind the field. Students in some instances are held responsible for actual company based work or group campaigning. Ultimately both the company and student benefit from this opportunity. But be WARNED!... Internships go FAST! Since they provide so much of a resume' builder, undergrads must express interest as early as possible, in many cases 2 months head of time. After 4 years without an internship the possible doors that could have opened for me had I known the importance of them, is baffling. Even after my undergraduate career I may seek out an internship opportunity. Whether paid or unpaid the opportunities and resources from doing something of this sort and in some cases magnitude seems endless. I ENCOURAGE ALL UNDERGRADS TO DO WHAT I DIDN'T DO... INTERNSHIPS!
