Bad bosses and bad jobs are all unfortunate realities. Usually, the fastest way out of a bad situation is to do your best under the circumstances. But don't waste your time in an intolerable situation. Talk to your boss, your faculty advisor, or the internship coordinator about your options. One way you can show off these talents to potential employers is through firsthand experience.
Internships are increasingly popular.
Internship experience leads to employment. Upon graduation, students with pre-professional internships secure jobs at roughly twice the rate of those without internship experience. Internships are used as a screening devices. Many employers will interview candidates from their internship pool before posting a job to other graduating seniors. Internships are helpful for graduate school.
