The Importance of Internships

Internships are important for many reasons, and they can be the gateway to your professional career! Let’s dive into some reasons why you should pursue an internship if given the opportunity.
- Build your resume
- If two people apply for a job at a company, and one candidate has internship experience listed on their resume, they have a competitive advantage over the other person. Many companies prefer that you have some type of professional experience, even if it is an entry-level job. Build that resume!
- Networking
- Think about all the new people you will meet during your new internship! Not just your boss and people on your direct team, but professionals across all departments. Everyone you meet will be able to give you advice and help you along the way. Statistics say that there is a 1 in 16 chance of securing a job by connecting with people, and an internship is the perfect place to start building your network.
- Learn how to work in a professional workplace and gain real-life experience
- There’s no better place to gain real-life work experience than during an internship. You will learn everything from leadership structure, workplace culture, and employee relations!
- Learn more about yourself and your interests
- Internships can help you figure out if you are pursuing the right career field. You might take on an internship in a job field that you think interests you, but then during the internship you find out you actually want to go in a different direction in your career. This is totally normal, and will be helpful in the long-run! The good news is that you would have never known if you didn’t try it out, and now you know. On the other-hand, you could absolutely love the internship and now you know for sure that you made the right choice with your career path.
Now that you know all about how an internship can benefit you, apply for that internship! You will thank yourself in the long-run, as you will stand-out to any future employers.
