The Benefits Of Internship

Internships are a great way for gaining experience and knowledge. It can possibly lead you to working there full time (that's if they like you and you do what you're supposed to do). Putting on your resume that you used to intern somewhere is really a good thing because it shows although it wasn't a paying job, you had responsibilities that allowed you to gain experience from a working environment.

What are the outcomes from an internship:

Internships are meant to see if the field you have chosen is really what you want to do after high school or college
You get an early start in getting your experience. Once you get that experience from an internship, you're set for any other job that you choose because realistically, your internship is really a job but you just don't get any pay for the work that you do.
Internships are also a place where it tests out your comfort zones and see how you react to certain situations that crosses your way. It will also show you if this is the field you plan on doing in the future.
Internships are a very good place for networking and meeting new people along your journey. The people you meet are also the people that can get you to where you want to be at in the future.
