How much does internship helps in your professional life in Pakistan?

I think internship is the stage of professional life where you can think for your future profession. This is just a start
step to your career, if you done well and not just pass and waste your time during your internship you will go higher enough to choose a best career path for you so internship is not just to mention in cv but a step to decide for your profession.

At student level, it is all you will be going to have as a professional experience when you'll apply as a fresh grad.

And also it IS counted as a solid experience in any industry eg, if some telecom opening has a 1-yr. exp. criteria then your internship exp. will be counted.

Rule is simple, you gain 2 things from a job 1-Experience(permanent and main asset) and 2-Money. So in a way you can say that Internship is a Half-Job providing the first gain only.

And remember: Something is better than nothing in your CV

No matter where you live internship is pretty much essential nowadays. It shows that you have already gained some working experience, which is what employers look for. Apart from that soft skills and good grades matter as well. Remember, the more you offer, the better your chances in getting a good job.
