Gaining experience helps build skills and a clearer understanding of the career field, industry, and sometimes a particular employer. You can gain experience by participating in any of the following activities: class projects, campus leadership roles, student organizations, part-time jobs, volunteering, job shadowing, internships, fellowships, short-term experiences, research opportunities and full-time positions.
Searching for a job or internship isn’t just about applying for an opportunity in the hopes to get an interview. Successful job seekers utilize a variety of strategies to help them stand out from other applicants.
