Open Post - Internship

What is an internship?
According to Wikipedia, an internship is "a system of on-the-job training for white-collar and professional careers." Internship is typically done by college or university students. Some students do their internship after finishing or before becoming sophomores, but most do their internship when they reach junior year at college or university.

There was a regular meeting of MACA, the club that I am involved in, about internship. The graduate student in the club gave presentation to other members. The requirements for internship are well-written resume and application, decent GPA, well-prepared interview, work experience, and nice recommendations. Since a lot of members of MACA had experience of internship, they shared their experiences. A lot of them have worked in Big 4 audit firms and some of them have worked in other private companies.

After hearing and watching the presentation about internship, I was inspired. I learned that there are several ways to get internship and how it can be helpful for me to get full-time jobs. I decided to prepare for the internship processes. Firstly, I am going to try out for the leadership programs, and then try for the internship.
