The Value of Interning, Part I

Deanna found this article and thought it might be interesting to you...here's a good excerpt:

If you can afford it, intern, even it isn’t paid (most aren’t anyways). This shows dedication, not to mention you are gaining experience and getting valuable additions for your resume while your searching for a job as well as expanding your network and contacts. Eventually, this economy will turn around and if you are sticking it out with a company, when they start to grow and expand again, you’re already versed with their operations, structure and culture. They would certainly prefer to hire someone who already “knows the ropes.”
