The best opportunity to get an internship is all about "who you know". If you know how to play golf, you're guaranteed to get internships. I've been getting young people internships because I know them and referred them to other colleagues in different companies. Sending out resumes is pretty much useless.

You need experience get an internship?Isnt that what internship is for since entry level job these days still require couple years of experience?Basically internship are the new entry level job lol.

[TheARTY]

the whole point of an internship is to not have experience. So, if i understand corrct. the workforce experience charter goes something like this:

Graduate program/internship - 0years
Jnr/entry position - 1~3years
Standard Position- 2~4years
Snr - 5 years +
