Internship Preparation

Experiential learning or better known as an "Internship," is one of the most powerfull tools in career search or career development. To quote famed videographer Dan Traugott, " An internship allows you to see the world and the world to see you." However, planning finding and executing a successful internship is no easy task. The planning function can take up to one year, and so can the
search, application and interview process. There is a driect correlation between the quality of the internship program and the amount of planning and prep time. Anyone can seek out an internship opportunity in their field, but will it be a quality experience? Will it offer other potential career options? Or, will it just be a waste of time? The answer is up to the intern candidate, no one else.
