    Absolutely. If you’re in college, an internship is ideal.

    And yet, the number of times I had to talk a manager off a ledge about an internship candidate without relevant experience…

    This after they’d been through 2-3 rounds of coding challenges and a “culture fit” check.

    So put something on your resume. Maybe you were a “support tech in a Linux server environment” for 3 years because you helped your grandparent with a router a few times. We weren’t calling references. And your coworkers will know and expect you are green.
