Internships Are For Everyone

"Mary K. graduated with an M.B.A. a few years ago. Because of her lack of experience in the field she wants to enter, she has been having trouble getting hired. In an email she sent to me, Mary says "I am bright, articulate and would be a valuable asset to any organization willing to hire me in a business related role." She also said she'd be willing to do volunteer work to get the experience she needs. Mary wanted to know if I had any suggestions. I did have one suggestion. "Look into doing an internship," I said in an email I fired off to Mary. "
