[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Years of real summer jobs helped my son get a real internship in college. The recruiter said that they rarely consider students who have zero work history. [/quote]

+1 my kids worked "regular" jobs during HS summers and first college summer. Did well with college internships.

Also, as someone who hires interns, I only really consider someone who had some experience like retail/camp counselor/food service. If you've only done "internships" since HS, I'm going to assume most of those weren't real jobs and that you just have well connected parents.[/quote]

Or those are left off the resume for room for more
Meaningful experiences and to keep it short and uncluttered[/quote]

That would be bad resume advice. Retail/food service/camp counselor are definitely meaningful experiences at that stage of career. It tells me you can deal with people, customer service, stressful situations, and aren't too good to do grunt work.[/quote]
