Often, internship seekers need to already have experience to be offered an internship. My best advice to those getting started is to gain as much event experience and exposure as possible to build your resume before you get an internship. The best way to do so is to volunteer as event staff at events you find interesting (almost every event is looking for volunteers); often this can lead to great experiences and contacts that may be able to help you into the industry ...
