Interning out of the office

Interning and gaining work experience is regarded by many as a must in today’s competitive working environment and a concept that has been advanced for decades. But perhaps what is different in today’s climate, is considering how this could be achieved in a non conventional setting. How many people have thought of other ways of gaining vital work experience for the CV, ensuring they get a role they want but isn’t located in a company’s headquarters . Actually long gone are the days where you have to sign up to a 2-week, 3-month, 6 months or even a year internship, often located far away, perhaps in an expensive city and in a companies’ office. Of course these are still available and recommended if you have the opportunity but what if that’s not an option for you? You don’t live near a city, you don’t have financial backing, or your university have particular criteria that is difficult for you to meet.
