Summary
If your internship was among those unexpectedly nixed due to COVID-19, here's how to reclaim your professional mojo and boost your resume.
"An internship is a perfect way to communicate actual hands-on experiential learning. You are taking what you learned in class and actually applying it to the real world when taking on tasks or project work," summarizes Matthew Warzel, Certified Professional Resume Writer, and President of.
An internship also provides relevant experience to add to your resume and to discuss during job interviews.
While these are valuable take-aways, and an internship is a great way to accrue them, it's not the only means by which to garner these skills and opportunities.
While the loss of your internship is disappointing, there are other opportunities to learn about the companies that excited you, the work that they enact, and the kinds of positions for which they hire.
When you explain that your internship was canceled because of COVID, you're likely to find that many professionals are willing to help.
If your internship got canceled this year, that's not your fault.
