[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Comments here about OP are pretty harsh. Yes, having any job is better than sitting at home for 3 months. But lifeguarding (again) at this stage in college will put this student at a disadvantage when she graduates and enters the job market, absent family connections. Internships are an important stepping stone to future employment.[/quote] No. A lot internships are meaningless. What matters is what you do in the position you have, regardless of its title, and how to explain this on the resume and the interview. Just like for a college app - what matters is explaining what you did and why it matters. OP was clearly judging in the most horrific manner, so she deserves to be judged the same way. [/quote]
