I can't work for free but I need some experience on my resume

What do you do when you can't work for free but you need the internship or industry experience?

Jewel #1: Dolores stated" I've never had a chance to take an internship because I couldn't afford to work for free while I was in college, so I feel like I've missed getting those contacts even though I've made up for the work experience I could have had in an internship. For people on the same boat, I 'd say I 'd find ways to network and get some work experience and professional contact by joining a professional organization."

Jewel #2: Courtney stated " "Find out their budget and what they need comfortably, work in a job that supports it. Consider how many hours a week they have to devote to long-term skills and offer those hours free of charge."

I'm not one who knows all the answers, but I work to find the answers. There are many different routes to the same destination. 

Our lives and experiences are not cookie-cutters, nor are the strategies that we'll have to use to gain experience.

I am very appreciative of my friends for providing insight on ways to gain internship experience even if you can't work for free.

What advice do you have for our interns and professionals? 

 I can't wait to see your answers.
