Paid or Unpaid
Internships are about Experience
While many internships have started to pay a competitive wage, most internships still remain unpaid. While not ideal, short-term internships still remain an amazing way to build your network and get some experience before moving up into better paid, higher skill training opportunities.

Resume and Referrals
An internship is one of the best ways to build your resume and professional network when you have few experiences or connections in a field.
What makes them different?
