You've heard the word internship a lot. You might have even been told that it's a CV must-have to get a job. In some industries this is true - most law and finance firms offer structured schemes, for example - yet often you can substitute internship with 'work experience,' 'placement,' 'part-time job,' and 'volunteering'.
