3 Reasons to Consider an Internship

Post by:The Reserves Network August 12, 2022

While gaining work experience is important for your future career, it can be difficult to find the right opportunity. However, there’s one job that you should always be looking out for — an internship.

Whether you’re starting out as a college student, about to graduate, or want to dive straight into the workforce after high school, internships are an invaluable way to shadow a potential career, while strengthening your resume at the same time. If you are ready to pursue an internship, here are three key objectives you should look to accomplish during your experience.

1. Gain experience

The best way to gain experience and break into a competitive field is through internships. As an intern you get a chance to explore a company you might want to work for and its culture. You also get to show employers you’re willing to go the extra mile, work hard and learn from people around you. Internships don’t always have to be in the summer either— you can intern during the school year, perhaps even using it as a part-time job. It’s also an opportunity to network with professionals and gain references which will further boost your career!

2. Build confidence.

The best way to grow as a person is through learning. Whether it be special projects, entry-level tasks, giving presentations, or simply suggesting new ideas, internships will build your confidence which allows you to grow as both an employee and a person.

They also provide opportunities to build upon social skills by interacting with co-workers on a daily basis. Social skills are extremely important for anyone looking for a job or promotion at the office as you interact with others in different situations and workplace environments.

3. To get a feel for different roles or industries.

The short time frame of internships allows you to get a feel for different companies, positions and even industries. Being able to work in a field of interest can help determine if it’s something you enjoy or see yourself doing in the long run. You might even discover a passion for a role or business you didn’t think you would like.

When searching for an internship, these are three key things to look for as you make your decision and evaluate the role. This will help ensure a more rewarding experience and provide the take-home value needed on the next steps of your career path.
