It is no secret that employers are likely to hire job seekers with work experience. In fact work experience may be the most significant factor that employers look for in hiring new employees.

Barely heard of in the UK three decades ago, internships have become must-haves on the CV of any young jobseeker. Why?

The work experience placement has become almost a guaranteed rite of passage in an increasingly competitive job market.
