Dozens of Summer Internship Jobs Posted in White Lake-Highland Area

METRO DETROIT, MI – Internships can add experience to college graduates’ résumés, which often make the difference in getting a full-time job after college graduation, experts say.

“Graduating students with paid or unpaid internships on their résumé have a much better chance at landing a full-time position upon graduation,” Melissa Benca, director of career services at Marymount Manhattan College in New York City told CareerBuilder.com.

“Students are doing internships as undergraduates, and it is now not unusual for recent grads to take an unpaid internship with hopes of turning it into a permanent position or at least making some contacts and building their résumé.”

Some other advantages include networking opportunities, the chance to connect with a mentor, an introduction to the field’s culture and etiquette, and learning new skills. Some internships come with college credit or certification.
