I always thought that internships are made for people to gain experience, so why should experience be a pre-requisite? I Know that Shell Canada has significant operations and is always looking for good people in HR. As an intern experience is not a pre-requisite. Have a look ar www.shell.com/careers. Good company to get into for experience in HR. But if you don't fancy the long cold winters out in Alberta you may want to change your job search strategy. Unsolicited ...

Just one think: do you think Canada is the wrong choice? I guess internships are managed between universities and companie mor than in other country as there are so few around. Thanks again Sincerely Mariateresa Esposito Mariateresa Esposito <en-support@xing.com> http://www.xing.com/app/forum?op=showarticles;id=10758559;articleid=10764630#10764630 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:18:49 GMT http://www.xing.com/app/forum?op=showarticles;id=10758559;articleid=10761514#10761514 ...

The point is that even if I'm looking for internship in the Toronto area I am required to have former experience in the HR field or be a Canadian's University graduate. How to break this cycle?
