Are there any internships for people with no experience?
My friend and I are looking at some potential summer internships and most of them require some degree of experience in a field. So, are there any internships available geared towards people with very minimal to no experience? #internships

Hi Kemi,
I completely agree with the previous response. It is possible to find internships without any experience but they are rare. You have to be diligent to find them and make sure your resume stands out when you do. Don't be discouraged if you can't find an internship right away! Look to volunteer or shadow people in the field to gain some hands on experience and highlight this experience in your resume. When you do get an interview, if your lack of or minimal experience comes up, be sure to highlight what you have done and how other experiences you have (even if they aren't in the same field or work related) have prepared you to be successful in your internship.
Hope this helps!
