No job. Post-graduation internship instead..?

Career Opportunities & Internships
1

<p>I graduated in May 2012 with a Bachelors in International Relations but I want to go into Media Planning/Advertising/Branding. Problem is, I have NO prior experience in mentioned field(s).</p>

<p>Considering that applying for those full-time positions will most probably get me nowhere (again, no experience), would it be more wise to apply for post-graduation Advertising/Media planning internship positions now to pad my resume & explore the world of advertising and apply to full-time positions later?</p>

<p>How does this "plan" sound?
Anyone out there take any post-graduation internship positions?</p>

<p>is there a reason you can’t apply to jobs and internships?</p>

<p>You could give that a shot, although internships like those also typically want some type of experience or at least a demonstrated interest. I would strongly recommend networking with alumni from your college and seeing what opportunities might be available.</p>
