internship search... "more experience required"!

Searching for an internship can be quite an adventure. I've applied to any and and every posting that E-recruiting sends me, and I've discovered that you can never apply too much! Recently I have received emails and phone calls from many employers. The paid internship, that look really good on your resume, are of course! the toughest one's to get into.

I attended a career fair last semester in which I has my eye on one company in particular... and to my pleasant surprise, i received a call the very next day. Seems that my resume was quite impressive to them, but when it came down to the interviewing and hiring... turns out they found someone with more experience... go figure!!!!

It makes me wonder how these employers ever want us to have "more experience" if they don't give us the opportunity to 'gain' more experience.
