  1. Recognize the value of an internship
    1. An internship is your foot in the door of the business world, preparing you to enter the workforce.

    “Employers have told us consistently that they prize relevant work experience in job candidates. This demonstrates that many organizations are willing to reward candidates who make the effort to gain that experience,” says Marilyn Mackes, NACE executive director. (naceweb.org)

    “Internships offer benefits that may include instruction and mentorship; work experience; networking opportunities; and a verbal or written letter of reference. The National Association of Colleges and Employers has found that students who perform internships have a higher starting salary .Ideally, the employer has thought carefully about the benefits they can offer and described them in the posting. It is also up to the applicant to research or ask about the details of the situation.” (Wikipedia, Internship)
