Internships are considered valid work experience if they involved real responsibilities and skill development. Both paid and unpaid internships count.

To calculate your total internship experience, add up the duration of each internship based on start and end dates. For example, if you completed two internships - one for 3 months and another for 6 months - you have 9 months of internship experience.

Including internships on your resume is especially helpful if you have limited full-time work experience.
