Internships For People Going Back To School

If you are going back to school for the purpose of changing careers, it's important to understand that potential employers are going to be looking at more than just your degree when making a decision on whether to hire you. Having relevant experience in the field can be the difference between getting the big break your career needs and struggling to find a job.

Of course, if you are going back to school at 40 or older, it can feel like you are in a Catch-22: you need a job to get experience but no one will hire you unless you have experience. A great solution to this problem is an internship. This is a way for you to gain valuable experience in your field while working for top companies.

The point of returning to college is to end up with a great career and an internship is a wonderful opportunity to make connections and increase your job prospects. The Going Back to School Guide has a collection of resources for adults looking for internships, ranging from how to find an internship to how to make the most out of your internship opportunity.
