# Get your first internship without experience

## Which gap should you solve first?

Fictional case: an operations role requires Tuesday afternoon attendance. You have relevant coursework and a campus job, but also a fixed Tuesday lab.

### The posting against your current evidence

| Posting asks for | What you have |
| --- | --- |
| Spreadsheet reporting | A checked course spreadsheet |
| Written updates | Campus-job handover notes |
| Tuesday afternoons | A required lab from 1–4 p.m. |
| Prior internship preferred | No prior internship |

## Your turn

Would you build another project, rewrite your résumé or ask about the schedule first?
