"Internships" Give You an Added Advantage Over Others

Job seekers with an internship under their belt received a starting annual salary of $42,000, compared to $35,000 a year for job seekers who did not complete an internship. 

In today's global economy, these numbers speak volumes: internships pay and they’re not just for students anymore. More and more adults (including out-of-work Baby Boomers) are securing internships as a foot-hold in a particular industry or as a way to gain entry into a flat job market. 

Whether an intern is a college student or a back-to-work Mom, the one common denominator they all share is that today’s internship is ‘a real job’, which means interns (of all ages) must look, speak and act the part. This applies to the burgeoning field of virtual interns as well, because e-communication matters.
