The Search Process
An internship is an opportunity for supervised practical experience in a career field of interest—part- or full-time, paid or unpaid. It’s a chance to explore and perhaps expand your skills and opportunities. A job, of course, is a steady paycheck, usually including benefits and, hopefully, room for growth. While each brings something different to your career development, many of the tools required in their pursuit, from strategizing to networking to interviewing, are the same.
