I interviewed for about 30 internships to secure the three I did in college. By the time I graduated, I had a year and a half of intern experience and had my pick of multiple offers. Plus, the interns paid much more than I would’ve made at retail/food service jobs.

It was one of the best decisions of my life. I wish I would have interned at 1 more company too.

Because they saw his talent and capabilities to handle the job very well.

She’s been working with a team at my site for the last year and graduates this May. I’m thrilled to have an employee who’s already trained and “ready to go” and she’s thrilled to have a job right after school. It’s a win-win in my book. Internships are a great opportunity if you work hard and do a good job.

It was so screwed up at my school because business majors didn’t have to, just were encouraged, but journalism majors (which I was) had to log 400 internship hours to graduate. That’s no laughing number. My internships certainly helped land me jobs and having CNN on a resume post-college made me feel like such a big shot.

I didn’t realize all schools didn’t require them. The ability to get hands-on experience is invaluable and not to mention the networking opportunities. I had an intern in my last year and I happily brought him in full-time because in that short time interning, he proved himself and I knew he would make an excellent addition to my office. If I did not have a position available, I would have also happily referred him to many other financial advisor or any business as a reference too.
