Internships on a job application

[zarapipe]

I'm in a grad program and have done two internships. Should I put those on my job applications? They are on my resume, but I wondered if they should be included on the application. They weren't paid if that makes a difference.

If they are directly related to the job you're applying for, or if people you met during the internship are references, I would put them on an application.

yes @idaholakelady they are. I actually did an internship in the office of the job I am applying for. It's a long shot- I still have three more classes until I graduate and they require a degree, but I would like to put my name out there to show interest.

I would, particularly if they're relevant to what you're looking for

Yes, I'd include them at least until you land your first post-grad job.

Even if they're not related, I'd absolutely put them on.

First, working while you're in school shows that you're willing to work hard. Second, skills are transferable. Third, you will need people to vouch for you. Even if you were just making copies at that office, you can show them that you're already familiar with the office culture & having people there who can say that they'd want to work with you can go a long way. Good luck!

Definitely include them. Good luck!

Yes, especially if they're relevant. Good luck!
