Question about internships

<p>Do employers care about what kind of engineering internship you've had, or only the fact that you had an internship? By that I mean, if I had an internship with a company that manufactures automotive parts and I want to get a job with a company that makes polymers, will they care that I didn't have experience with polymers?</p>

<p>it's always better to have relevant experiences. but having some internship is better than having none because it helps you develop other skills i.e. teamwork, responsibility...</p>
