No Internship? No Problem
The semester is quickly coming to a close, and I think no one is more excited to be done than I am. For me, a huge part of the excitement is moving on to the next best thing, that is, my plans for the summer.
For some students, that "next best thing" is going to be an internship, which will definitely be an experience to remember. However, if you aren't in that position, there are tons of other things to be doing to build your resume for next year and beyond.
Volunteering is a great thing to be doing over the summer, especially if you are interested in the non-profit sector. Random summer jobs are also a possibility (beyond the golf course from home). There is a great book in the Career Center on jobs like these. Studying abroad is another possibility.
The important thing is to take the opportunity to look beyond your typical set of experiences to see locations to expand in places you might not be already working on. The reality is that summers are a great time to build your resume, with or without an internship.
