Internships

One of the recurring themes in any entry level job search is the lack of experience factor. "Where do I get experience if no one is willing to hire me?" The answer is simple: Get an internship!

Work experience not only makes you more marketable as a job candidate, it also gives you the opportunity to gain greater understanding about your chosen field. You will have an opportunity to find out many of the positives and negatives in advance, and truly enter your field with your eyes wide open. This may give you the chance to step back early from what could have been a major career mistake.
